Anderson
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 covers 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. "A major contribution to the study of modern American literature. Rideout has created a record of Anderson's life that is as detailed and accurate as we are ever likely to have."—Hilbert H. Campbell, professor emeritus, Virginia Tech, editor of The Sherwood Anderson Diaries, 1936–1941 Walter B. Rideout (1917–2006) was professor emeritus of English at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, coeditor of Letters of Sherwood Anderson, and author of The Radical Novel in the United States, 1900–1954, for which he received the Robert F. Ferguson Award of the Friends of Literature. For more information contact our publicity manager, phone: (608) 263-0734, email: publicity@uwpress.wisc.edu Of related interest |
