This early work by Sherwood Anderson was originally published in 1932 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Beyond Desire' is a fictional biography of the life of the German composer Felix Mendelssohn. In 1908, Anderson began writing short stories and novels. Anderson lived in Chicago, where he found work in an advertising agency and became friends with other writers, 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.
