Another view:

"Thoreau, very likely without quite knowing what he was up to, took man's
relation to nature and man's dilemma in society and man's capacity for elevating
his spirit and he beat all these matters together, in a wild free interval of
self-justification and delight, and produced an original omelette from which
people can draw nourishment in a hungry day."

- E.B. White, The Yale Review, 1954
