| Sherwood Anderson, American novelist and short-story writer. He wasborn on Sept. 13, 1876, in Camden, Ohio, the third of seven children. His father was an easygoing, improvident man whose itinerant habits resulted in spotty educations for his children. Sherwood had no formal education after the age of 14, although he did attend Wittenberg College for a short time. Anderson had a belated writing career. He served in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, then began a successful business career in advertising. Dissatisfied with his life,however, Anderson abandoned both his job and his family and went to hicago to become a writer. His first novel, Windy McPhersons Son (1916), concerning a boys life in Iowa, was followed by Marching Men (1917), a chronicle about the plight of the working man in an industrial society. In his best-known work, Winesburg,Ohio (1919), a collection of twenty-three related stories about life in a small town, he explores the loneliness and frustration of small-town lives. In his later works included Poor White (1920), Many Marriages (1923), and Dark Laughter (1925) and the short story collections as The Triumph of the Egg (1921), Horses and Men (1923), and Death in the Woods (1933). |
