A whole online collection of works by my favorite author, Sherwood Anderson, is available on The Literature Network.
Here’s their intro to his biography: “Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941), American author, poet, playwright, essayist, and newspaper editor, wrote Winesburg, Ohio (1919), “The Book of the Grotesque”. A collection of excellent examples of the short story genre and set in small town America, the stories are loosely connected by journalist George Willard writing of the sometimes “grotesque” sides of the human condition including poverty, marginalisation, love and romance. Many of Anderson’s contributions to American Literature reflect his own struggles between the material and spiritual worlds as husband, father, author, and businessman and also cover issues as wide-ranging from labour conditions to marriage.” (online-literature.com).
Not only will you find Winesburg, Ohio and The Egg (seemingly, in my opinion, his most represented works online), you’ll also find Windy McPherson’s Son, Seeds, The New Englander and much more! Here’s my personal THANK YOU to online-literature.com. I’m going to have my nose on the screen for the next few days…
