Autorenporträt

Sampson Vryling Stoddard Wilder, notably absent from mainstream literary canons, is an author whose historical and religious narratives reflect his profound engagement with spiritual themes. Born in the late 18th century, Wilder's background and life details unfortunately remain largely elusive to contemporary scholarship, which has contributed to his position as a more obscure figure in American literary history. 'The Village in the Mountains; Conversion of Peter Bayssière; and History of a Bible' remains one of his few identified works. This volume exemplifies the didactic nature of Wilder's prose, steeped in the Christian tradition, and often aimed at moral instruction and spiritual edification. The book is an amalgamation of three distinct narratives, each exploring the potency of faith and the transformative power of divine intervention in the mundane realities of human existence. Wilder's style is emblematic of the early 19th-century American literary milieu, characterized by an unwavering commitment to religious themes and an earnest, if not zealous, tone that sought to educate as much as to tell a story. His writings could be classified alongside the works of contemporary religious thinkers and writers of the Second Great Awakening period, a time noted for its religious revival and emphasis on personal piety. Nevertheless, to this day, Wilder's exact contributions to the period's literary fabric, and the extent of his oeuvre, remain topics ripe for further academic exploration.
