About This Item
New York: Four Walls Eight Windows, 1992. edited and with an introduction by Charles E. Modlin 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 359 pages From jacket: "(This book) is the first one-volume edition of ANderson's stories. But what makes this book truly remarkable is that five of Anderson's very best stories appear in print here for the first time... It was Anderson who wrested short fiction from the upbeat conventionality of the popular magazines of the 1920s and '30s and molded it to express the isolation of individual people. (This book) contains 30 stories in all, chosen from previously unpublished manuscripts and from Anderson's three story volumes...Numerous stories have been meticulously restored to Anderson's original version by Professor Modlin. Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) is best known for an early work, the slim story cycle Winesburg, Ohio. But his story-telling art matured considerably after that publication. He published 23 books in his lifetime, and is thought by many to be one of the handful of great American writers of the 20th century." Head of spine and jacket are bumped and there is light wear to jacket. Inside flap may be price clipped. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
