Sherwood Anderson was an
American
author
who published a number of
novel
s in the first half of the
Twentieth Century
. His most famous work, and one of the most
beautiful
pieces of
American literature
, is the
short story
collection "
Winesburg, Ohio
".
Anderson was born in 1876 in
Camden
,
Ohio
. He served in the
Spanish-American War
. He was managing a
paint
factory
in
Ohio
when he realized what his true
dream
was. He consequently abandoned his job as well as his wife and 3 children, moved to
Chicago
and became a
writer
.
His first novel was "
Windy McPherson's Son
", published in 1916. His second novel, "
Marching Men
" (1917) was a study of the individual in conflict with
industrial society
.
Anderson's collection of short stories, "
Winesburg, Ohio
" (1919) offers a loosely connected series of stories describing
disillusioned
small-town lives. While his first 2 novels were minor successes, he suddenly gained wide
recognition
with "
Winesburg, Ohio
". The
book
is rightfully considered his
masterpiece
and maybe one of the most beautiful short story collections in
American
literature
.
Other works by
Sherwood Anderson
are:
- "
Poor White
" (1920)
- "
The Triumph of the Egg
" (1921)
- "
Many Marriages
" (1923)
- "
Horses and Men

- "
A Story Teller's Story
" (1924)
- "
Dark Laughter
" (1925)
- "
Death in the Woods

Even though Anderson is now mostly
forgotten
, he personally and indirectly influenced a
generation
of young writers, including such greats as
Ernest Hemingway
,
William Faulkner
and
John Steinbeck
.
Sherwood Anderson
died in 1941.
