Abstract
This essay explores how the core story of solitary retreat - an instance of what Kenneth Burke terms “the paradox of substance” - is enacted in cabin books from three historical junctures, books that are ‘post-Thoreauvian’ in how they adhere to or thwart expectations as to the framing and success of the endeavor.
