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Afterlife: The Strange Fate of Literary Remains explores what happens to a body of work left unpublished or unfinished at the time of a writer’s death.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Ellison’s achievement when, after his endlessly reworked second novel finally made it into print in 1999, it was then superseded, in 2010, by another version?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.

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.

Children''s short story about the adventures of Barney Scuttlebum

In Hemingway, Style, and the Art of Emotion, David Wyatt shows that the work of Ernest Hemingway is marked more by vulnerability and deep feeling than by the stoic composure and ironic remove for which it is widely known. This major reassessment of the shape of Hemingway''s career recovers the soul of the author''s work, revealing him as a multifaceted writer rather than a cold, static icon. Wyatt claims that Hemingway''s famous early style does not embrace emotional reticence but works instead to measure the cost of keeping thoughts and feelings under the surface. By the early 1930s Hemingway also turned away from the art of ''the omitted'' and began to develop a vision and style more accommodating of the awkwardness and embarrassments of everyday life. Relying on a thorough knowledge of the vast archive Hemingway left behind at his death, this book shows Hemingway as a thoroughly complex and transmutable figure.

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.

Modern sensibilities have clouded historical views of slavery, perhaps more so than any other medieval social institution. Anachronistic economic rationales and notions about the progression of European civilisation have immeasurably distorted our view of slavery in the medieval context. As a result historians have focussed their efforts upon explaining the disappearance of this medieval institution rather than seeking to understand it. This book highlights the extreme cultural/social significance of slavery for the societies of medieval Britain and Ireland c. 800-1200. Concentrating upon the lifestyle, attitudes and motivations of the slave-holders and slave-raiders, it explores the violent activities and behavioural codes of Britain and Ireland’s warrior-centred societies, illustrating the extreme significance of the institution of slavery for constructions of power, ethnic identity and gender.
