Whose later works include Maine Woods?

• A. Ralph Waldo Emerson
• B. Henry David Thoreau
• C. John Muir
• D. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Answer: (B)

Maine Woods is a travel-writing work by Henry David Thoreau, produced in his later years and published after his death. It gathers his firsthand accounts of journeys into Maine’s forests, reflecting a deepening focus on wilderness, detailed natural observation, and the social questions around forest use and preservation. This aligns with Thoreau’s broader turn toward nature as a teacher and a lens on human life, extending the spirit of his earlier work like Walden. Among the listed authors, this collection belongs to Thoreau, while the others are known for different kinds of writing (Emerson for essays, Longfellow for poetry, Muir for his own wilderness writings), so Maine Woods is Thoreau’s work.
