Sherwood Anderson
Winesburg, Ohio
eBook
(Dover Publications Sept. 13, 2014)
This edition includes 10 illustrations. Feeling for the pulse of small-town life in the fictional village of Winesburg, Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson is a cycle of short stories, each told from the viewpoint of a different inhabitant of the town, but ultimately following the progress of George Willard. Favoring a straightforward style that emphasizes the psychological workings of each character's mind in what readers find to be an isolated and lonely town, the novel – which was published in 1919 – is considered by many to be the first work of Modernist literature, and Anderson himself would influence future literary giants like Faulkner, Sandburg and Wilson.
