Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. W inning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want. I t's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having an adventure. When you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home. T he best part of married life is the fights. The rests is merely so. I 've never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for whether it's a field, or a home, or a country. N ever support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.

Extractions: Wilder, Thornton Niven 1897-1975, American playwright and novelist, b. Madison, Wis., grad. Yale (B.A., 1920) and Princeton (M.A., 1925). He received most of his early education in China, where his father was in the American consular service. Wilder taught in colleges and universities in the United States and Europe; he was the Charles E. Norton professor of poetry at Harvard in 1950-51. A serious and highly original dramatist, Wilder often employed nonrealistic theatrical techniques, i.e., scrambled time sequences, minimal stage sets, characters speaking directly to the audience, and the use of a narrator. His plays, like his novels, usually maintain that true meaning and beauty are found in ordinary experience. Wilder's first important literary work was the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1927; Pulitzer Prize), which probes the lives of victims of a bridge disaster in Peru. Among his other novels are The Cabala The Woman of Andros Heaven's My Destination The Ides of March The Eighth Day (1967), an old-fashioned saga about two families that is also a mystery story and an exploration of chance and human destiny; and

Extractions: Author Wilder, Thornton Title Our Town Plot Summary: Our Town is a book about a play about a small town called Grover's Corner in New Hampshire. It takes place in 1901-1913. It is mostly about characters Emily Webb and George Gibbs. The first act is about when the two are still in high school and they fall in love. The second act takes place three years later and is about their wedding day and the cold feet before the wedding and a flashback to when they knew they were going to get married one day. The third act takes place nine years later than the second act and is about a bad thing that happens to one of them but both suffer and something good comes out of it. Review: The characters come alive a little in this story but its kind of hard to believe because everything seems too perfect, the kids are too nice and they seem like some of those characters in a 50's sitcom where the kids are perfect. After reading Our Town my insight was they knew their town wasn't a big city and not much happened there but they didn't mind much and most didn't have a desire to leave the town. I think the style of the book was a little weird when it said the book was a play about a play and that confused me a little at first until I understood.

Extractions: T h o r n t o n W i l d e r (1897-1975) Biography American writer and playwright, best known for the Pulizer Prize awarded play OUR TOWN (1938), which was seen by the critic Brendan Gill as "a nightmare of passive awareness felt through all eternity", misinterpreted as a slice of Normann Rockwell-like Americana. Wilder's breakthrough novel was THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY (1927), an examination of justice and altruism in the fates of five travelers in the 18-century Peru, who happen to be crossing the finest bridge in the land when it breaks and throws them into the gulf below. A priest interprets the story of each victim in an attempt to explain the working of divine providence. Thornton Wilder was born in Madison, Wisconsin, as one of five children of Amos Parker Wilder, a newspaper editor and diplomat, and Isabella (Niven) Wilder. In 1906 the family moved to Hong Kong, where his father had been appointed American Consul General. After six months his mother returned with the children to the United States, but the family rejoined again in 1911 in Shanghai, where his father had been transferred. Wilder stayded in China for a year. During WW I Wilder served for eight months in the Coast Guard. He received his B.A. from Yale University in 1920 and went to Rome, where he studied archaelogy. By 1926 he had received an M.A. degree in French literature from Princeton University. In the same year appeared his first novel, THE CABALA. From 1930 to 1937 he taught literature and classics at the University of Chicago.

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/W/wilderthornton

Extractions: Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Wilder was educated at Oberlin College and Yale University. While teaching, he achieved success as both a novelist and a playwright. In his compelling novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1927; Pulitzer Prize, 1928), Wilder united the lives of a disparate group of travelers in colonial Peru through a single event, the disaster in which they die. His other novels include The Ides of March (1948), an epistolary work about the Roman statesman Julius Caesar, and The Eighth Day (1967), about the events surrounding a murder. For the latter work Wilder was awarded the 1968 National Book Award. Theophilus North (1973) is a group of short stories. Wilder's direct, accessible style also works well in drama. His first full-length play, the allegorical The Trumpet Shall Sound (1926), preceded a long list of popular one-act plays and translations. An enduring work of American drama is Our Town (1938), a touching look at small-town American life that brought Wilder the 1938 Pulitzer Prize in drama. It was theatrically experimental for its time, performed on a stage without scenery or props, using stepladders to represent the upstairs of a house and folding chairs to indicate a graveyard. The Skin of Our Teeth (1942), a comic view of human life through the ages, won the 1943 Pulitzer Prize in drama.
