For Anderson the play marked the culmination of his efforts at playwriting. He had adapted his finest collection of stories for the stage, and it would now be the responsibility of the theatre and particularly of his producer, Jasper Deeter, to see that the play succeeded. Deeter produced the play at the Hedgerow Theatre in 1937. Anderson had no doubts concerning the merits of his play. For Christopher Sergel, however, Sherwood Anderson's reading was only a beginning.

  • The Double Life of Veronique in Jordan and Hemingway—On the Autobiographic Implications in for Whom the Bell Tolls*
    Sino-US English Teaching, March 2016, Vol. 13, No. 3, 225-232 doi:10.17265/1539-8072/2016.03.009 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Double Life of Veronique in Jordan and Hemingway—On the Autobiographic Implications in For Whom the Bell Tolls* WANG Chao-fan, MENG Fan-mao Linyi University, Linyi, China Ernest Hemingway is one of the greatest American novelists. His For Whom the Bell Tolls, a novel on Spanish Civil War, is generally regarded as “his most ambitious artistic endeavor and a heroic epic of the 20th century American literature”. The protagonist, Jordan, is a brave, unselfish, and stressful fighter for fascist, who is the more mature epitome of Ernest Hemingway in the reality. It is an example of application of “meta-fiction”. Both of their views on war change from being pessimistic to being optimistic; both Hemingway and Jordan are the heroes of “Grace under Pressure” and both of them start to care for the society and love others. Keywords: Hemingway, Jordan, war, epitome, meta-fiction Introduction I was shocked and moved by For Whom the Bell Tolls, written by Ernest Hemingway, not only for the philanthropism and perseverance of Jordan during the process of bombing bridge, but also because of his unselfishness and calmness when he chose to sacrifice himself for saving his comrade-in-arms and the girl he loved in the end of the battle. Ernest Hemingway is regarded as a thoughtful and smart artist, a literary giant, an adventurer, and a stylistic genius in American history who won Nobel Prize in 1954. He was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois; Ernest Miller Hemingway is the second child to Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway.

Language: English Access: Open for research Administrative Information Acquisition: Purchases, 1968-1973 (R4498, R5102, R6030) Processed by: Michael Ramsey, 2010 Repository: The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Center Anderson, Sherwood, 1876-1941 Biographical Sketch Sherwood Anderson was born in Camden, Ohio, on September 13, 1876, as the third of seven children. His parents, Irwin M. and Emma Anderson, moved from town to town frequently after the failure of Anderson's father's business. Anderson attended school only intermittently in order to help his family's finances by working a variety of odd jobs including stable boy, house painter, and newsboy. He left school at the age of 14. His father (a former Union soldier) worked as a harness maker and house painter after the family finally settled down in Clyde, Ohio. Anderson moved to Chicago, Illinois, at the age of 17, where he worked in a factory by day and was a business student by night. He joined the National Guard in 1895 at the age of 19 and fought in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. After his service ended, Anderson returned to Ohio and finished a final year of schooling at Wittenberg College in Springfield. Anderson moved around Ohio frequently until 1904 when he married Cornelia Lane, a woman of good education and background, and fathered three children.

  • Publishing Sherwood Anderson's “Group of Tales”
    Publishing Sherwood Anderson’s “Group of Tales”: The Textual Presentations of the Winesburg Stories and the Modernist Legacy of Winesburg, Ohio Matthew James Vechinski Chapter Seven, “Publishing Sherwood Anderson’s ‘Group of Tales’: The Textual Presentations of the Winesburg Stories and the Modernist Legacy of Winesburg, Ohio,” explores the printed texts through which readers encountered the Winesburg stories, including the periodicals that published Sherwood Anderson’s short fiction prior to its appearance in book form and the various editions of the book released by different publishers. It considers how the audience of the Seven Arts, a magazine committed to defining the new American literature, and the socialist magazine The Masses would have responded to Anderson’s depictions of class, alienation, and longing. Then the essay examines how book designs across editions of Winesburg, Ohio frame the contents and in turn influence the reception of the stories and the volume as a whole. The complete publication history of Winesburg, Ohio explored here illustrates how Anderson’s innovative stories received initial attention and then became established classics of modernist fiction. How Publishing Makes an American Modernist Classic The genre of the book Winesburg, Ohio has always attracted the interest of scholars of modernist literature. It may be read as a collection of stories, and indeed many of the tales have been published separately in anthologies of classic American short fiction. When read together, one recognizes across the stories a consistent narrative tone, a single setting, and a cast of characters that appear throughout the fiction. The hero of Winesburg, Ohio is George Willard, though his presence comes and goes throughout the tales as the witness to the strange and isolated lives of the small town Ohioans.

    Copyright 2017 Laura Atkins ADAPTABLE LIVES: AGENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN A CANCER CLUSTER TOWN BY LAURA ATKINS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Moon-Kie Jung, Chair Professor Assata Zerai Professor Lisa Marie Cacho Professor Norman K. Denzin ABSTRACT This dissertation provides an ethnographic account of the experiences of residents living within the cancer cluster town of Clyde, Ohio, where over 50 children have been diagnosed with or have died of cancers of the brain and central nervous system since the mid-1990s. My entry into the field coincided with the filing of a lawsuit against the town’s largest employer, a Whirlpool Corporation plant, after the discovery of nine feet of toxic PCB sludge at a former community recreational park built by the company. Drawing on in-depth interviews, archival documents, and government reports, I examine systems of power at work within the community that hamper a collective sense of community subpolitics. Using a grounded theoretical approach to analysis informed by risk theory, I discovered that community-level responses to risk echo national logics that promote the concepts of deterrence and avoidance of harm as matters of individual preventive choice. Within a cultural context where efforts towards pinpointing the toxins responsible for the elevated cancer rates in Clyde have failed and there exists an imperative for self-protection that is impossible to achieve, residents experience serious psychosocial and practical conflicts as they adapt to the impact of cancer on their families.

    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Sherwood Anderson: Collected Stories (The Library of America, 2012), pages 74–80. First published in Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life (1919). Adventure SHERWOOD ANDERSON lice Hindman, a woman of twenty-seven when George A Willard was a mere boy, had lived in Winesburg all her life. She clerked in Winney’s Dry Goods Store and lived with her mother who had married a second husband. Alice’s step-father was a carriage painter, and given to drink. His story is an odd one. It will be worth telling some day. At twenty-seven Alice was tall and somewhat slight. Her head was large and overshadowed her body. Her shoulders were a little stooped and her hair and eyes brown. She was very quiet but beneath a placid exterior a continual ferment went on. When she was a girl of sixteen and before she began to work in the store, Alice had an affair with a young man. The young man, named Ned Currie, was older than Alice. He, like George Willard, was employed on the Winesburg Eagle and for a long time he went to see Alice almost every evening. Together the two walked under the trees through the streets of the town and talked of what they would do with their lives. Alice was then a very pretty girl and Ned Currie took her into his arms and kissed her. He became excited and said things he did not intend to say and Alice, betrayed by her desire to have some- thing beautiful come into her rather narrow life, also grew ex- cited.

  • Symbolism in Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 2, Issue 12, December 2014, PP 54-61 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Symbolism in Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio Dr. Adli Odeh Assistant Prof. of English Literature Head of English Dept. Shaqra University, Saudi Arabia Abstract: Sherwood Anderson occupies a distinctive position in the history of American letters. He was the first American novelist of consequences to break firmly away from the tradition of gentility that had dominated the writing of fiction in the United States. He was a leader in the movement to revitalize the stream of literary naturalism by demonstrating a concern with inwards, psychological reality rather than the journalistic, documentary recording of outward experience. Anderson’s substantial body of work is now being revalued from many points of view particularly his most reputed novel Winesburg, Ohio. Much is being said about the way Anderson develops his stories around shafts of vision that become pivotal points around which the stories revolve. Some of his admiring critics subjected his work to the most penetrating analysis, disseminating a great deal of information and coming up with unique interpretations that all his characters are types to be found in any society or community and have great symbolic significance. Out of this interpretation, this study was born. All the twenty two stories of Winesburg, Ohio deal with characters. In Winesbug, Ohio, Anderson recorded the often-troubled “inner workings” of the fictional citizenry of Winesburg, Ohio. This gallery of repressed individual, are unable to understand, and communicate with their fellow men.

    MIDWESTERN MISCELLANY XXIII being a variety of essays on the works of Sherwood Anderson by members of -\- " The Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature edited by DAVID D. ANDERSON The Midwestern Press The Center for the Study of Midwestern Literature and Culture Michigan State University East LanSing, Michigan 1995 in honor of William Maxwell Copyright 1995 by The Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature All rights reserved Printed in the' United State of America No part of this work may be reproduced in any fonn without permission of the publisher. PREFACE No American writer has received more critical and bio­ graphical attention than Sherwood Anderson in the Society's publications, the Annual Symposium, and other Society-spon­ sored programs, including, in 1984, the first issue of Midwestern Miscellany devoted to a single writer. Perhaps this attention reflects, in part, my own abiding interest, but I am convinced that it is a manifestation of Anderson's central role in the literary definition of the Midwest in his time and ours. Certainly we receive more essays devoted to Anderson than to any other single writer. Just as Anderson's work is central to any definition of the Midwest as a literary place, the Clyde, Ohio of his youth-the Winesburg and Bidwell, Ohio, and Caxton, Iowa, of Anderson's works-is central to his portrayal of the Midwest in transition from an agricultural, village-centered nineteenth century to an industrial and urban twentieth. This transition made the people of Anderson's literary world reflections of those of the reality of Clyde, and, as he commented, of Chicago, Elyria, and even Company "I;' Sixth Ohio Regiment of Volunteer Infantry in 1898-99.
