About this book

Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life was published in 1919.  This book is Sherwood Anderson's most well-known, and it is now considered one of the earliest examples of Modernist literature.

The book is a short story cycle, a collection of 22 stories that all take place in the fictional Winesburg, Ohio.  The gloomy tales paint a morose portrait of small town life in the US before the industrial boom.

First Edition Identification

A number of the stories that appear in the book were previously published in several literary magazines and journals, including The Masses, Little Review, and Seven Arts. They were finally published in book form by B.W. Huebsch in 1919.

The First State of the first edition is identifiable by a few points:  Bound in yellow cloth with a map printed on the end paper, the first state had a typo "lay" on page 86, line 5 and the word "the" was printed with broken type face on pager 251, line 3.
