Thornton Wilder, the only author to have won the Pulitzer Prize for both drama and fiction, frequently portrays characters struggling with religious and theological issues. His work has been examined by critics in connection with American Puritanism, existentialism, and Vedantic literature, but little attention has been paid to the works of Thornton's brother Amos, an ordained minister, poet, biblical scholar, literary critic, and professor at Harvard. Thornton Wilder and Amos Wilder: Writing Religion in Twentieth-Century America is the first book to explore the relationship between Thornton's work and his brother Amos's scholarship.
"Thornton Wilder and Amos Wilder is a thought-provoking study of Wilder's fiction and drama in relation to one of the great universal themes of human culture—religious belief. The unique thing about this study is that Christopher J. Wheatley reads Thornton Niven Wilder's literary works in relation to Amos Niven Wilder's both scholarly and poetic. The book is impressive for its reading both Wilders in the context of both pre-modern and modern literature that treats the religious theme, either skeptically or affirmatively." —Lincoln Konkle, The College of New Jersey
