Anderson, Sherwood, 1876-1941.
American writer, a native of Camden, Ohio. A businessman until a nervous breakdown in 1912, which was followed by a series of failed marriages and a new career as a serious author. Winesburg, Ohio, his first major work, began a string of successful works in the early 1920s; later works were less well received. An important influence on Hemmingway, Faulkner, and other emerging authors of the period.
