Who wrote Walden?

  1. Nathaniel Hawthorne

  2. Henry David Thoreau

  3. J.D. Salinger

  4. Emily Dickinson

The correct answer is: Henry David Thoreau

Walden is a famous transcendentalist book that was written by Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau is the correct answer because he is the only author on the list who was famous for writing transcendentalist works. Nathaniel Hawthorne, J.D. Salinger, and Emily Dickinson were all writers, but they were known for their fiction and poetry, not for transcendentalist literature.
