Built of Books: How Reading Defined the Life of Oscar Wilde

Built of Books: How Reading Defined the Life of Oscar Wilde

Thomas Wright

St. Martin's Griffin
2010
nidottu
An entirely new kind of biography, Built of Books explores the mind and personality of Oscar Wilde through his taste in books This intimate account of Oscar Wilde's life and writings is richer, livelier, and more personal than any book available about the brilliant writer, revealing a man who built himself out of books. His library was his reality, the source of so much that was vital to his life. A reader first, his readerly encounters, out of all of life's pursuits, are seen to be as significant as his most important relationships with friends, family, or lovers. Wilde's library, which Thomas Wright spent twenty years reading, provides the intellectual (and emotional) climate at the core of this deeply engaging portrait. One of the book's happiest surprises is the story of the author's adventure reading Wilde's library. Reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges's fictional hero who enters Cervantes's mind by saturating himself in the culture of sixteenth-century Spain, Wright employs Wilde as his own Virgilian guide to world literature. We come to understand how reading can be an extremely sensual experience, producing a physical as well as a spiritual delight.

FINALLY, a scholarly description of the development of Black preaching in the United States that is accessible to the average reader, but also contributes to the academic conversation about both style and theological content. Written from the perspective of a seasoned practitioner and tenured practical theologian, Thomas surveys Black preaching as it has responded to various social and historical time periods. Starting with the brutality of chattel slavery, early formations in segregated Southern life, rapid migration to and urbanization in Northern cities, and various events throughout the post-civil rights era, the book gives convincing details and examples of how the Black preacher helped to guide and sustain the masses of African American people through the wilderness of social change. At the heart of the book, three prime examples are presented as models of the real ""genius"" of Black preaching. The reader will never again think about Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and the Reverend Jesse Jackson in the same way. A special chapter is devoted to the contributions of Black women preachers along with a closing chapter that makes new proposals for the future. The book is a provocative and critical analysis of why Black preaching still matters. ""Voices in the Wilderness is insightful, impactful, and inspirational reading for anyone interested in and committed to the relevance of Black preaching. John L. Thomas, Jr. takes us into the wilderness to understand our suffering, and baptizes us in the Jordan River to fuel our hope. He juxtaposes a way out, and a way forward that respects the rich tradition of Black preaching, while calling for a social gospel committed to social justice for all people."" --DuWayne Battle, Associate Professor, The State University of New Jersey ""Du Bois described the Black preacher as 'the most unique personality developed by the Negro on American soil. A leader, a politician, an orator, a ""boss,"" and intriguer, an idealist...' Voices in the Wilderness gives life to Du Bois's sentiment by demonstrating the theologically complex and socio-politically diverse role of the Black preaching tradition. By identifying multiple streams of homiletic emphasis based on the shifting terrains of Black life in America, Thomas shows Black preaching to embody both the best aspirations and worst aspects of the larger society. This book will provoke important and valuable conversations about this vital intellectual tradition."" --Jonathan L. Walton, Plummer Professor, Harvard University John L. Thomas Jr. is Associate Professor of Practical Theology at Phillips Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
