Thoreau’s Identity Crisis Explored in New Psychobiography
Michigan State University Professor Richard Lebeaux argues in Young Man Thoreau that Thoreau’s adolescence and troubled early adulthood shaped his Walden ideals of art and constructive noncommitment. The study, drawing on Erik Erikson theory, tracks Thoreau from Harvard graduation in 1837 to Walden Pond in 1845, detailing family strains, a notably tense relationship with Ellen Sewall, and a pivotal 1842 death in Concord. Lebeaux, a specialist in American thought, outlines how these influences culminated in a resolved but partial identity at age 28 as he wrote Walden.
