Conceived initially as a travel book, A Week was immeasurably deepened into an elegiac account of experience by a tragic event that occurred in Thoreau’s life in the period following the 1839 voyage. In 1842, Thoreau’s companion on that voyage, his brother John, died suddenly, and in agonizing pain, from lockjaw.

Without question, this was the greatest loss that Thoreau ever was to suffer. (He seems to have undergone, in the aftermath of his brother’s death, a sympathetic case of the illness that caused John’s death, and the few entries that appear in his journal in this period are desperately mournful.) Interestingly, though the pronoun “we” characterizes the narrator often in the book, the brother’s name is never mentioned—an indication perhaps of Thoreau’s enduring need to distance himself from this loss.
