Arguably one of the most important American writers working today,
Wendell Berry is the author of more than fifty books, including
novels and collections of poems, short stories, and essays. A
prominent spokesman for agrarian values, Berry frequently defends
such practices and ideas as sustainable agriculture, healthy rural
communities, connection to place, the pleasures of work, and the
interconnectedness of life. In The Achievement of Wendell Berry:
The Hard History of Love, Fritz Oehlschlaeger provides a sweeping
engagement with Berry's entire corpus. The book introduces the
reader to Berry's general philosophy and aesthetic through careful
consideration of his essays. Oehlschlaeger pays particular
attention to Berry as an agrarian, citizen, and patriot, and also
examines the influence of Christianity on Berry's writings. Much of
the book is devoted to lively close readings of Berry's short
stories, novels, and poetry. The Achievement of Wendell Berry is a
comprehensive introduction to the philosophical and creative world
of Wendell Berry, one that offers new critical insights into the
writing of this celebrated Kentucky author.
