Wilder's Theophilus North Rewinds Social Clock to 1926 Newport
Thornton Wilder turns back the sociological clock to 1926 Newport in Theophilus North, a tale of a 29 year old male seeker who becomes a roaming sociologist and helper to rich and poor alike. The book blends fairy tale elements with Wilder's critique of class and manners, offering gentle satire and sentimental rescue through imaginative cures.
