An assiduous and often brilliant estimate of the life and works of
the mid-western novelist whose writings may enjoy a critical
re-examination, in the light of the present fad for backward
glances to the twenties and thirties. Although Anderson's actual
published writing stretched well into the end of the thirties, his
really creative work was confined to the twenties - the years of
Winesburg, Ohio; Poor White and Men and Horses, for the period just
before his death in 1941 was relatively barren of the searching
spirit which produced those novels and short stories which
expressed touchingly, painfully, the loveless loneliness of the
mid-western American in the turbulent frontier-industrial
transition. Investigating the peculiar influences which drove this
restless, mother-starved, sentimental artist, Mr. Howe follows
Anderson's career from his boyhood in Ohio; his despair with the
charming insouciance of his father; his suppressed feeling for his
wearily withdrawn mother; his early years among the Phillistines of
business; an escape from his first marriage to Chicago's Bohemia
and the brief exhilaration of the defiant new realism; marriages
and friends; and the battle to retain the creative powers which
surged and waned spasmodically. A full, thorough portrait of a man,
an era and an art, this ??book should receive wide critical
attention. In the American Men of Letters series. (Kirkus Reviews)
