Sherwood Anderson, Collection

Sherwood Anderson ( 1876 - 1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for subjective and self-revealing works. Self-educated, he rose to become a successful copywriter and business owner in Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio. In 1912 he abandoned his business, first wife and three children to become a writer. His most enduring work is the short-story sequence Winesburg, Ohio, which launched his career. Anderson's first novel, Windy McPherson's Son was published in 1916. This book, along with his second novel, Marching Men (1917) are usually considered his "apprentice novels" because they came before Anderson found fame with Winesburg, Ohio (1919) and are generally considered inferior in quality to works that followed. In this ebook: Windy McPherson's Son (1916) Marching Men (1917) Poor White (1920) Winesburg, Ohio (1919) The Triumph of the Egg (1921) Death in the Woods and Other Stories (1933)
