NEH Grant for Thoreau Edition

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded a $245,000 grant to The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau, a projected 28-volume series of the work of the 19th-century American naturalist and social philosopher. The grant will support the editing of three volumes of letters from and to Thoreau. The Thoreau Edition, which has been headquartered at several universities across the country since its inception in 1966, is now located in the UCSB Library.
