Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's hard to imagine any great author producing stories that do not contain autobiographical material, and surely Sherwood Anderson is no exception, if anything he proves the rule. So much of the content in Windy McPherson's Son is drawn from personal experience. Biographers have made great strides in digging up Sherwood Anderson's past and showing how his life and personal struggles unfold through the characters in his works. His writing is not only highly original and creative but therapeutic and cathartic. Sherwood had this obsession to create and explore his own psyche as he described the world about him. He would lock himself away in a small, sparsely furnished room and write away, working to get at the truth as he struggled to understand it. Once he had a vision of it, he refused to be a propagandist and espouse political or economic opinions, though as a writer he could not ignore the effects of politics, business, and industry on American life, in particular on small town middle America and middle class life. Upton Sinclair, after reading Windy McPherson's Son, wrote Sherwood a letter aiming "to make a socialist out of him." Anderson replied that he did not wish to see writers as propagandists, taking a socialist or conservative position, or any political position for that matter. Their role was to stay in life not in politics. They could not take sides, else they would only be dealing in half truths. He explains in his letter to Sinclair: "I want them to be something of a brother to the poor brute who runs the sweatshop as well as to the equally unfortunate brutes who work for him." For Anderson getting at the truth demanded avoiding stereotypes and setting forth doctrine. He wished to depict real people facing the real difficulties of their times and leave it to the reader to judge. This meant living among the people and breathing in life as they did while examining and understanding his own mood before attempting to imagine theirs. Understanding Anderson requires understanding his less apparent feelings towards the events and characters in his novels, and this can be aided by, I believe, familiarity with key events in his own life that most likely contributed to forming his various perspectives. Which brings me to the point of why I have decided to edit and add biographical footnotes to the present edition of Windy McPherson's Son. First, by editing this edition, I am intending to provide a more readable text. The edition that I'm working from contains many formatting errors, silly typos, or slips of the pen, and misspellings, which I have tried to remedy. The numerous punctuation infelicities, which I felt hesitant to address, remain. I feel that they do not get in the way of the reading. Secondly, I believe that adding biographical footnotes may help us understand and appreciate the impact that Sherwood Anderson's life might have had on his writing, while opening a small door that could shed a splinter of light on what his personal feelings might have been towards the events he depicts and the characters he fashions. The aforementioned being said, certainly, Sherwood Anderson would want us to give much more attention to his work than to his life if we wish to take from his writing any real thing of lasting literary value. However, information about his life could very well offer us a richer understanding of his personal feelings towards his subjects, the changing times he lived through, and significant personal events that inspired his writing. And for those who do not wish to read full biographies about the author, the biographical footnotes are a pleasant and helpful way of getting to know a little more about this remarkable man's life.

Book excerpt: Sam stepped to the baggage-room door, handed him the cigar, and began giving directions, pointing into the baggage-room, intent and business-like in the face of the Irishman's laughter. Then, turning, he walked across the station platform to the main street of the town, his eyes bent on the ends of his fingers on which he was making computations with his thumb. Jerry looked after him, grinning so that his red gums made a splash of colour on his bearded face. A gleam of paternal pride lit his eyes and he shook his head and muttered admiringly. Then, lighting the cigar, he went down the platform to where a wrapped bundle of newspapers lay against the building, under the window of the telegraph office, and taking it in his arm disappeared, still grinning, into the baggage-room.

This book was released on 2016-07-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherwood Anderson (September 13, 1876 - March 8, 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. Windy McPherson's Son is a 1916 novel by American author Sherwood Anderson. It was published by John Lane as part of a three book contract. Windy McPherson's Son is Sherwood Anderson's first novel.In September 1907, the Anderson family (at that time just Sherwood, his wife Cornelia and son Robert) moved from Cleveland to Elyria, Ohio, where Anderson became head of the Anderson Manufacturing Company (name changed to American Merchants Company after 1911). As part of the family's new home, Anderson set aside an attic where he would escape the stresses of business and family life. It was during one winter between 1907 and 1912 that both this room and his office (where Frances Shute, his secretary, would sometimes stay late typing drafts of his first two novels) served as the settings in which Windy McPherson's Sons was composed.[3] Though it is likely that most of his first novel was composed in Elyria, there is some evidence pointing to possible edits made between those early years and the novel's publication in 1916

The book is the story of Sam McPherson's rise in the world of business and search for emotional enlightenment in later life. The author is strongly coherent in the fact that a man needs to find success that will satisfy his ego regardless of the effect that it can have on his child. Windy goes about his business but the inferiority that accompanies his life gives his son the illusion that life offers little hope. Sherwood Anderson (1876 – 1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for subjective and self-revealing works. Anderson published several short story collections, novels, memoirs, books of essays, and a book of poetry. He may be most influential for his effect on the next generation of young writers, as he inspired William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, and Thomas Wolfe.

Download or read book Sherwood Anderson written by Walter B. Rideout and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-02-20 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book American Silences written by Joseph Ward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ""American Silences"", Joseph Anthony Ward offers a unique analysis of the use and effects of silence in modern American realistic art. Beginning with the nineteenth-century literature that laid the foundation for silence in art, he moves to a brief analysis of Sherwood Anderson's ""Winesburg"", Ohio and Ernest Hemingway's ""In Our Time"", showing how they, along with several other crucial works of twentieth-century American realism, incorporate the power of the silent into their expression without sacrificing the subjects and techniques of traditional realism. Examining ""Let Us Now Praise Famous Men"", James Agee's commentary on the life of tenant farmers, documented with photographs by Walker Evans, Ward traces the book's pattern of 'silence, then silence disturbed by sound, and ultimately silence restored'. Ward further supports his theory with a study of Agee's ""A Death in the Family"" and Evans' ""American Photographs"". Ward sees Agee's admiration of photography as a connection between the silence of the scenes he writes about and the silence of Evans' photographs. The use of silence is perhaps even more obvious in the paintings of Edward Hopper. Although throughout the book Ward suggests both the positive and negative qualities of silence in art, Hopper's paintings provide little in the way of postiveness. For Ward, the art of silence is an art of extreme concentration that seeks essences rather than superficiality that nearly transcends realism itself. The theme of silence in American realism is a significant new one, but Ward's interpretation of the prose and his analysis of the photographs and paintings, many of which are reproduced in this book, establish validity for art as the voice of silence.
