Description
Thornton Wilder's Autobiographical Writings offer a unique glimpse into the life and thoughts of one of America's most celebrated writers. This collection includes his semi-autobiographical novel, Theophilus North, which portrays Wilder's young manhood in 1920s Newport, Rhode Island, as well as three previously unpublished reminiscences from an unfinished autobiography. These personal reflections provide a fascinating insight into Wilder's childhood experiences at boarding school in China and his time at Yale University. They also offer a poignant account of his visit to Salzburg before the Nazis annexed Austria, highlighting the author's thoughtful engagement with the world around him. Published by Library of America, this volume is part of a renowned series that aims to preserve America's literary heritage through authoritative editions of its most significant writing.
