About this edition
Thornton Wilder , the first biography of the playwright and novelist since 1983, is also the first to be based on thousands of pages of letters, journals, manuscripts, and other documentary evidence of Wilder's life, work, and times. For more than a decade, biographer Penelope Niven has worked with unprecedented access to Wilder's papers, including his family's private journals and records, searching for the secrets that illuminate Wilder's public life and work, as well as the hidden inner self sometimes concealed and sometimes revealed in his art and in his papers. Thornton Wilder was a multifaceted man: a teacher, novelist, playwright, lecturer, actor, musician, soldier, man of letters, outspoken citizen, and international public figure. He was also an enigmatic, intensely private man. He belonged to a close-knit, complicated family two brilliant parents, four gifted siblings, and the specter of his twin brother lost at birth. His biography is also a compelling family saga, starring Thornton Wilder, with strong supporting roles played by his father, mother, brother, and sisters. He was a gypsy, wandering the world, writing, he said, for and about everybody a fact international audiences still embrace. , are still performed on stages around the globe. Yet despite the international fame and visibility of Wilder the writer, far too little has been known or understood about Wilder the man until now. Comprehensively researched and richly detailed, brings the private man center stage and sheds new light on his published and unpublished work.
