Wilder In An Hour
In 1920, when 23-year-old Thornton Wilder set off for Rome to study archaeology, he couldn't know the profound affect the trip would have on him as a playwright. In Rome, Wilder attended the 1921 premiere of Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author. The theatricality of the play, its fracturing of time and space, the suspension of reality and dreamy spirit excited Wilder's muse. He would later recreate some of those themes in his greatest masterpieces like The Skin of Our Teeth, The Matchmaker, and of course, the legendary Our Town.
Setting the playwright in context to his personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Wilder and the plays he wrote. Read Wilder in an Hour and experience his plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!

• Wilder in an Hour, the main essay of the book
• Wilder In a Minute, a snapshot chronology
