White (English, Illinois State U.) has collected Anderson's pre-Winesburg, Ohio writings (written while he worked at an ad agency between 1902 and 1916) and presents them here interspersed with biographical information and contextual comments. These undelivered love letters written by Anderson during 1932 record the emotional ups and downs of a 55-year-old writer desperately in love with and dependent on a strong, attractive career woman 20 years younger, who would finally marry him the next year. Found by Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson only at Sherwood Anderson's death in 1941, she chose before her own death in 1985 to publish her husband's letters. Annotation c.
