An examination of modern life, partly in verse, partly in story form, mainly as essay. Anderson's primary concern and overriding fear is that man has been emasculated by modern life, especially through modern patterns of industrial labor. An antidote to this situation is seen in the lives of women, who have not as yet had their maternal and creative instincts deformed by factory life. It was originally published in episodic form in various magazines.

Owner's name on front end page, else unmarked. Sherwood Anderson was an author who strongly influenced American writing between World Wars I and II, particularly the technique of the short story. His writing had an impact on such notable writers as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, both of whom owe the first publication of their books to his efforts. His prose style, based on everyday speech and derived from the experimental writing of Gertrude Stein, was markedly influential on the early Hemingway, who parodied it cruelly in Torrents of Spring (1926) to make a clean break and become his own man. Anderson is known for his work Winesburg, Ohio.
