Winesburg, Ohio
Regular price
€13.99
Anderson profoundly changed the American short story, transforming it from light, popular entertainment into literature of the highest quality. His art belonged as much to an oral as a written tradition, and, as this collection shows, the best of his stories echo the language and the pace of a man talking to his friends. They explore with penetrating compassion the isolation of the individual and capture the emotional undercurrents hidden beneath ordinary events.
Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) published 23 books in his lifetime, including the acclaimed Winesburg, Ohio (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics).
Charles E. Modlin is Professor of English at Virginia Polytechnic and a trustee of the Sherwood Andersonliterary estate.
