You might want to read Leon Edel's criticism of Thoreau which make him
not to be so mythologized as he is in the pop literature.
Fore example:
Main Author: Edel, Leon, 1907-
Title: Henry D. Thoreau.
Publisher: Minneapolis, University of Minnesota Press [1970]
Notes: Bibliography: p. 44-47.
Haven't read the following but it might be of added value:
Main Author: Edel, Leon, 1907-
Title: The mystery of Walden Pond : inaugural lecture, Citizens Chair in English, University of Hawaii, May 12, 1971 / Leon Edel.
Publisher: [Honolulu : University of Hawaii, 1971?]

I'm trying to write a term paper on the idea of disobedience from Thoreau and how to read it genealogically through a Foucauldian kinda lens. I also wanted to, from this, gain some insight into what could be said about the political potential of disobedience in the contemporary.
