Thoreau's Orientalism: A study of Confucian and Taoist elements in Thoreau's readings and writings

This study is a comparative attempt to elucidate the influences on Thoreau of the Orient, particularly Confucianism and Taoism, which has not received a systematic, scholarly treatment so far. In placing this discussion within the comparative tradition, the effort is oriented toward the emphasis on influences rather than rapprochement.
