Winesburg, Ohio: A Norton Critical Edition: Second Edition

“Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio changed modern American storytelling, kindling innovations by Faulkner, Hemingway, and, through them, fictioneers around the world. With scholarly rigor and critical imagination, Marc Dudley gives a new generation of students, teachers, and general readers a superbly conceived edition of this breakthrough work.” —Stephen Cushman, University of Virginia

“This edition of Winesburg, Ohio contextualizes Anderson as a key figure of American literary modernism and offers a selection of secondary criticism that includes Anderson in conversations about race, gender, and disability. More than a century after its publication, Winesburg, Ohio still resonates with readers who find in its pages what it means to be alone together.” —Verna Kale, The Pennsylvania State University
