Tar - A Midwest Childhood
Author: Sherwood Anderson
Publisher: Walton Press
ISBN: 9781473303355
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This early work by Sherwood Anderson was originally published in 1926 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Tar - A Midwest Childhood' is a semi-autobiographical work about small-town life in late-nineteenth-century Ohio. In 1908, Anderson began writing short stories and novels. He moved to Chicago, where he found work in an advertising agency and became friends with other writers in Chicago, including Floyd Dell, Theodore Dreiser, Ben Hecht and Carl Sandburg. Starting in 1914, the now-politicised Anderson began having his work published in 'The Masses', a socialist journal. Anderson's first novel, 'Windy McPherson's Son', was published in 1916. This was followed by the novel 'Marching Men' (1917) and a collection of prose poems, 'Mid-American Chants' (1918). A year later, 'Winesburg, Ohio' (1919), Anderson's best-remembered and best-known work, was published.

Book Description
Stories of a Midwest Childhood 1930s-'40s gives shape to days of a Nebraska childhood. The book reveals the growing consciousness of a girl from her 4th birthday to her 16th year.

Make-believe games with my friends and cousins, cowboys in the haymow, corncob dolls, a hideaway in the storm cellar, a Maypole and May baskets, family picnics by a muddy river.

The Midwestern Ascendancy in American Writing
Author: Ronald Weber
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253363664
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
For a half-century - from Edward Eggleston's pioneering novel The Hoosier Schoolmaster in 1871 through the dazzling early work of Hart Crane, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s - Midwestern literature was at the center of American writing. In The Midwestern Ascendancy in American Writing, Ronald Weber illuminates the sense of lost promise that gives rise to the elegiac note struck in many Midwestern works; he also addresses the deeply divided feelings about the region revealed in the contrary desires to abandon and to celebrate. The period of Midwestern cultural ascendancy was a time of tremendous social and technological change. Midwestern writing was a reflection of these societal changes; it was American literature.
