Other editions of book Many Marriages

“Many Marriages was written in 1923. In this novel, Anderson continued his use of new psychological insights to explore his characters. Because Anderson explored the new sexual freedom in the novel, it was attacked in an American crusade against "dirty books", which also objected to D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love. Sales of Anderson's novel declined markedly after this unwelcome publicity.F. Scott Fitzgerald considered Many Marriages to be Anderson's finest novel.” - Wikipedia"A washing machine manufacturer walks away from his upright, respectable life in a small Wisconsin town circa 1915. In many ways, a novel-length examination of the same sort of secret dreams and yearnings explored in 'Winesburg.'" - Goodreads"Sherwood Anderson, inspiration to Hemingway, Faulkner, Steinbeck and Wolfe, explores the new sexual freedom in this work."About the Author: 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, Anderson had a nervous breakdown that led him to abandon his business and family to become a writer. At the time, he moved to Chicago and was eventually married three additional times. His most enduring work is the short-story sequence Winesburg, Ohio, which launched his career. Throughout the 1920s, Anderson published several short story collections, novels, memoirs, books of essays, and a book of poetry. Though his books sold reasonably well, Dark Laughter (1925), a novel inspired by Anderson's time in New Orleans during the 1920s, was his only bestseller. In 2012, Anderson was inducted into the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame.Other Books By Sherwood Anderson: Windy McPherson's Son; Marching Men; Mid-American Chants; Winesburg, Ohio; Poor White; The Triumph of the Egg; Horses and Men: Tales, Long and Short, from Our American Life
