Thornton Wilder was the son of Amos Parker Wilder and Isabella Niven Wilder. His father was a strict Calvinist and newspaper editor, while his mother encouraged literary pursuits and a questioning mind. Wilder studied classical literature at
His second novel, The Bridge of San Luis Rey was published in 1927, bringing him a Pulitzer. His second Pulitzer came in 1938 wuith Our Town and the third Pulitzer in 1942 with The Skin of Our Teeth which opened with Tallulah Bankhead and Fredric March, sealing both Wilder's and Bankhead's fame. In 1942, he also wrote a screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock, Without a Shadow of a Doubt.
In 1952, Wilder received the Gold Medal for Fiction from the
Wilder used minimalist stage effects and telescoped time through short scenes, borrowing structure and techniques from Berrtold Brecht and Kafka. Our Town is influenced by the Spoon River Anthology of Edgar Lee Masters (1915), . and Sherwood Anderson's
In 1963, Wilder received the Presidential Medal. The Eighth Day received the National Book Award in 1967, presenting the dilemma of a man accused of murder, examining the vagaries of human psyche and social reactions to an event without precise details given. The accusations are circumstantial, creating an emotional crisis for the reader who sympathisizes with the victim as reasoonable doubts are raised. Critics point to the similarity between The Bridge at San Luis Rey, The Eighth Day and Luigi Pirandello's Six Authers in Search of Four Characters.
