New Releases by David Wyatt

Afterlife: The Strange Fate of Literary Remains explores what happens to a body of work left unpublished or unfinished at the time of a writer’s death. In nine chapters, David Wyatt tells the story of the “afterlife” of texts by Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Harriet Jacobs, Emily Dickinson, William Faulkner, Sylvia Plath, Ernest Hemingway, and Ralph Ellison—and of the improbable and unpredictable ways in which literature that might never have seen publication managed to end up on the printed page. Posthumously edited texts raise important issues about the meaning and shape of a literary career. How is one to assess the arc of Ellison’s achievement when, after his endlessly reworked second novel finally made it into print in 1999, it was then superseded, in 2010, by another version? Meanwhile, the publication of four Hemingway books after the author’s death undid any notion that the writer suffered some sort of decline late in life, and the gender-bending experiments in The Garden of Eden cast a revisionary light back on what had become a deeply reductive belief in the Hemingway Code. While judgments about these writings may begin as technical matters, Wyatt shows that they eventually become aesthetic and, finally, ethical considerations. Despite the difficulties involved, such evaluations continue to be made and to produce the editions that teachers and readers are required to choose among. Throughout Afterlife, Wyatt stresses the attentiveness needed in the editing of posthumous texts: being mindful to honor an author’s literary remains by providing an answerable reading of them, while also caring enough about the work left behind to take a position on the printed form it might best take or, if such a conclusion feels impossible, to give a responsible account of why it is out of reach.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1883.

Forgiveness sits at the heart of the Gospel, yet it raises complex theological questions. What does it mean for God to "forget" our sins? Should forgiveness be unconditional? What if there''s no repentance? To gain Biblical clarity on these issues, author David Wyatt turns to an unconventional source - a dialogue with "Frank", an AI assistant programmed as a Christian theology expert. What unfolds is a thought-provoking, accessible conversation that dives deep into divine and human forgiveness. They explore what Scripture says about God''s forgiveness of mankind and how we are to forgive each other in light of God''s example. The dialogue format succeeds in drawing out nuances that a treatise might miss. Touching on essential concepts like the conditionality of forgiveness, the link between forgiveness and reconciliation, and imitating God''s pattern of forgiveness, Frank and David bring sound Biblical exegesis to bear on practical questions. This is highly applicable theology, not just academic theorizing. While an AI assistant like Frank will never replace the Holy Spirit''s guidance, it can serve as a unique tool for scriptural insight. If you''ve grappled with the complexities of forgiveness, this enlightening dialogue will expand your understanding and give actionable direction grounded in God''s Word. Forgiving Like God: A Conversation with Frank, an AI Persona is the first book in David Wyatt''s Conversations with Frank series.

Background: Improving patient outcomes is a priority for healthcare organizations and clinicians. Teams and how they function have been viewed as closely related to improved patient outcomes, particularly in the perioperative setting. While significant focus has been given to developing methods to improve teamwork less attention has been given to understanding the characteristics of the team and how these characteristics may contribute to improved patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the team characteristics of experience and familiarity and patient outcomes in the operating room (OR) using logistic regression modeling. The Systems Research Organizing Model (SROM) guided the study. Methods: Using retrospective data from the electronic health record as well as faculty and staff credentialing data, measures were calculated to quantify team experience and team familiarity. These measures were used in a logistic regression model to understand their relationship to the patient outcomes of OR supply cost, OR length of procedure, as well as if the procedure started on time. Results: Logistic Regression modeling did not show any significant relationships for the characteristics of experience or familiarity to the outcomes of OR supply cost, OR length of procedure, as well as if the procedure started on time. This was an expected result due to the fact that the data did not show to fit well for the model. The study objective to explore team proxies proved to be the most interesting work, particularly creating novel methods to quantify familiarity. Conclusions: The results of this study are not conclusive in supporting a relationship between team characteristics and patient outcomes. However, the methods developed to quantify familiarity and team experience characteristics provide groundwork for future research and study of teams. The team characteristics of experience and familiarity need further exploration related to the organizational structures of team composition - which will inform further development of these calculations improving statistical modeling options.

Max Pendragon is not looking forward to attending Morgana Le Fay''s summer spell school. Not only is his battered cauldron producing slimy sludge instead of perfect spells, but ever since he and his sister Olivia foiled evil Morgana''s plot against King Arthur, they have been vary of her plans for revenge.

Secret Histories claims that the history of the nation is hidden—in plain sight—within the pages of twentieth-century American literature. David Wyatt argues that the nation''s fiction and nonfiction expose a "secret history" that cuts beneath the "straight histories" of our official accounts. And it does so by revealing personal stories of love, work, family, war, and interracial romance as they were lived out across the decades of the twentieth century. Wyatt reads authors both familiar and neglected, examining "double consciousness" in the post–Civil War era through works by Charles W. Chesnutt, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington. He reveals aspects of the Depression in the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Anzia Yezierska, and John Steinbeck. Period by period, Wyatt''s nuanced readings recover the felt sense of life as it was lived, opening surprising dimensions of the critical issues of a given time. The rise of the women''s movement, for example, is revivified in new appraisals of works by Eudora Welty, Ann Petry, and Mary McCarthy. Running through the examination of individual works and times is Wyatt''s argument about reading itself. Reading is not a passive activity but an empathetic act of cocreation, what Faulkner calls "overpassing to love." Empathetic reading recognizes and relives the emotional, cultural, and political dimensions of an individual and collective past. And discovering a usable American past, as Wyatt shows, enables us to confront the urgencies of our present moment.

"His collection contains letters and other materials surrounding the life of five-term U.S. congressman David Wyatt Aiken, who biographers have styled "South Carolina''s Militant Agrarian." Born in 1828 in Winnsboro (Fairfield County, S.C.), Aiken served as a colonel in the Confederate Army and later went on to serve in the S.C. House of Representatives. He was a member of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina and served on the executive committee of the National Grange. From 1877 until 1887, he represented South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives. He died in 1887 at his home in Cokesbury, South Carolina. The collection consists in large part of letters to his second wife Virginia Carolina Smith Aiken (1831-1900), as well as a hand-written autobiography and other materials surrounding his life.

When the festive season arrives at Larklight, so does some unsettling news. A sinister-looking cloud is fast approaching the outskirts of the Known Universe. The closest planet, Georgium Sidus, has but two human inhabitants: the missionary Revd Cruet and his daughter Charity. Their most recent communication read: ''Great danger . . . imperative that -'' And so, aboard a naval gunship, Art, Myrtle and family bravely go where only one man and his daughter have gone before, to determine the nature of the menacing cloud and rescue the Cruets. But the evil which awaits them is far beyond their imagining, and it looks as though Mother may have finally Met Her Match. Lucky, then, that Jack Havock is hot on their heels to help in the battle to save the Universe (again) from an evil demigod and its army of blue lizards, who are intent on deposing none other than Queen Victoria to gain control of the Universe.

In an alternate Victorian England, young Arthur and his sister Myrtle, residents of Larklight, a floating house in one of Her Majesty''s outer space territories, uncover a spidery plot to destroy the solar system.

The prevailing mood of my early and Ann''s mid-fifties has been one of the sense of an ending, surely, but more than that, of a gathering urgency. . . . Fewer of the moments between us feel rehearsed, or forced. And now, just as we had begun to glimpse something like wisdom, glimmering over the horizon, the world smacks the hell out of us. I am strangely grateful, even so, if only for the felt return, in recent days, of the possibility of strong emotion. On the day of the terrorist attacks, a man begins writing down things said by his family and friends. The trauma appears to have marooned diarist David Wyatt in a shell-shocked present tense. But as he experiences all of the emotions of that fall, he is visited by deep memories that transform his daily journal-keeping into an "accidental memoir," a narrative that reaches a surprising and moving conclusion on Thanksgiving Day. Juggling the roles of English professor, restaurant owner, husband, father, son, and friend, Wyatt finds sustenance at the core of ordinary American life, resources at once so available and so elusive. Passionate about people, books, food, and landscapes present and lost--and absolutely unheroic--the voices summoned here counter the sanctimonious and the sentimental. Wyatt''s elegantly understated memoir reveals how the events of September 11 affected ordinary people and presents this anthology of thoughts, feelings, and interactions in a frank and immediate voice.
