内容説明

Sherwood Anderson: A Writer in America is the definitive biography of this major American writer of novels and short stories, whose work includes the modern classic ""Winesburg, Ohio"". In the first volume of this monumental two-volume work, Walter Rideout chronicles the life of Anderson from his birth and his early business career through his beginnings as a writer and finally to his move in the mid-1920s to ""Ripshin,"" his house near Marion, Virginia. The second volume will cover Anderson's return to business pursuits, his extensive travels in the South touring factories, which resulted in his political involvement in labor struggles and several books on the topic, and finally his unexpected death in 1941. No other existing Anderson biography, the most recent of which was published nearly twenty years ago, is as thoroughly researched, so extensively based on primary sources and interviews with a range of Anderson friends and family members, or as complete in its vision of the man and the writer. The result is an unparalleled biography - one that locates the private man, while astutely placing his life and writings in a broader social and political context.

内容説明

Sherwood Anderson, an important American novelist and short-story writer of the early twentieth century, is probably best known for his novel ""Winesburg, Ohio"". His realistic and nonformulaic writing style would influence the next generation of authors, most notably Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner. Walter Rideout's ""Sherwood Anderson: A Writer in America"" is a seminal work that reintroduces us to this important, yet recently neglected, American writer, giving him long overdue attention. This second volume of the monumental two-volume work covers Anderson's life after his move in the mid-1920s to ""Ripshin,"" his house near Marion, Virginia (where Volume 1 ended.) The second volume covers his return to business pursuits; his extensive travels in the South touring factories, which resulted in his political involvement in labor struggles and several books on the topic; and finally his unexpected death in 1941. No other existing Anderson biography, the most recent of which was published nearly twenty years ago, is as thoroughly researched, so extensively based on primary sources and interviews with a range of Anderson's friends and family members, or as complete in its vision of the man and the writer. Rideout uncovers much new information about events and people in Anderson's life and provides a new perspective on many of his works. This two-volume biography presents Anderson's many remarkable attributes more clearly than ever before, while astutely placing his life and writings in the broader social, political, and artistic movements of his times.
