2020 Reprint of the 1919 Edition. Winesburg, Ohio is a 1919 short story cycle by the Sherwood Anderson. The work is structured around the life of protagonist George Willard, from the time he was a child to his growing independence and ultimate abandonment of Winesburg as a young man. It is set in the fictional town of Winesburg, Ohio. Mostly written from late 1915 to early 1916, with a few stories completed closer to publication, they were conceived as complementary parts of a whole, centered in the background of a single community. The book consists of twenty-two stories, with the first story, The Book of the Grotesque, serving as an introduction. Each of the stories shares a specific character's past and present struggle to overcome the loneliness and isolation that seem to permeate the town. Stylistically, because of its emphasis on the psychological insights of characters over plot, and plainspoken prose, Winesburg, Ohio is known as one of the earliest works of Modernist literature.
