James Matthew Wilson
James Matthew Wilson is Assistant Professor of Literature in the Department of Humanities and Augustinian Traditions at Villanova University. His studies concentrate on the relation of artistic form and metaphysics, with particular interests in St Thomas Aquinas, the nature of Beauty, and modern poetry. Through his work, James seeks to furnish an holistic account of the influence of Classical, Scholastic, and neo-Scholastic thought on modern arts and letters. We are looking forward to his forthcoming book of philosophical and cultural criticism titled The Vision of the Soul: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty in the Western Tradition. James is also a poet and critic of contemporary poetry. In addition to several dozen poems and reviews in various magazines and journals, his books include Four Verse Letters (2010), Timothy Steele: A Critical Introduction (2012), The Violent and the Fallen (2013), and Some Permanent Things (2014).
