This early work by Sherwood Anderson was originally published in 1918
and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.
'Mid-American Chants' is one of Anderson's collections of poetry.
Sherwood Anderson was born in Camden, Ohio in 1876. He left school at
fourteen, and after working various jobs served in the Spanish-American
War in 1898. In 1908, Anderson began writing short stories and novels.
During the twenties, Anderson published Poor White (1920), The Triumph
of the Egg (1921), Many Marriages (1923) and Horses and Men (1923).
Although considered to be a minor work by the critics, Anderson's most
commercial successful novel was Dark Laughter, published in 1925.
Anderson died of peritonitis in Panama in 1941, aged 64.
