"This is a gentle book about a gentle man. A damning description for those who assume gentleness has no political implications. Oehlschlager, however, shows that the interconnection between Berry's poems, novels, and essays helps us see how gentleness is the decisive challenge to the world created by human hubris. This is an invaluable book to those who know Berry's work well and to those who do not."--Stanley Hauerwas, author of Hannah's Child: A Theologican's Memoir, " The Achievement of Wendell Berry: The Hard History of Love is a nearly comprehensive engagement with the work of Wendell Berry, who is without question one of America's most important contemporary writers. This book will remain a significant contribution to scholarship on Berry for some time to come."--Joel James Shuman, editor of Wendell Berry and Religion and Associate Professor and Chair of Theology at King's College, ""If you want to learn from Wendell Berry you must read him. After that, Fritz Oehlschlaeger's remarkable book on Berry's work, author of is the next best thing. This is because he writes not to characterize or peg Berry as a writer, but because he has learned from him and come to share deeply in his loves. Oehlschlaeger's thematic ordering of Berry's extraordinarily imaginative and extensive corpus not only preserves the force of Berry's blazing insights but even enhances them, providing connection and context. Berry's many gifts to our time, gifts that both awaken and alarm, are here unwrapped with the deepest fidelity and love. Read Berry, then read Oehlschlaeger on him, and you will know why you must read Berry again, equipped now with the understanding that what you are doing is a revolutionary act."--Charles Pinches, author of A Gathering of Memories: Family, Nation, and Church in a Forgetful World" --, ""Following Wendell Berry's own advice to 'learn from' literature rather than to 'explain it,' Oehlschlaeger has provided us with a wonderfully inspiring and insightful window into the essays, poetry, stories and novels which Wendell has given to us all over the years as his great gift to help us learn 'the goodness and grace of being here.'"--Frederick Kirschenmann, author of Cultivating an Ecological Conscience: Essays from a Philosopher Farmer " --, "An extensive discussion of the author's nonfiction investigates both the political and economic ramifications of Berry's work as well as the influence of Christianity upon his writing.
