Biography of Sherwood Anderson

Sherwood Anderson was born Sept. 13, 1876, in Camden, Ohio, the third child of seven born to a harnessmaker and his wife. The family moved often, settling in Clyde, Ohio in 1884. Sherwood didn't spend much time in school; he was nicknamed "Jobby" as a young boy due to the numbers of odd jobs he took on instead to help support his family. After his mother's early death in 1895 Anderson moved to Chicago for a couple of years, until he joined the army and was an infantryman in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. After his service he moved to Springfield, Ohio and enrolled in Wittenberg College for a year (1899-1900), where he met a friend who found him a job as an advertising copywriter and space salesman for Long-Critchfield Company in Chicago. In 1906 he moved with his first wife, Cornelia Lane Anderson, to Cleveland, Ohio, to set up a mail order house. A year later he established his own mail order paint business in Elyria, Ohio. It was there on Nov. 27, 1912 that Anderson suddenly left his office and wandered the countryside for four days, until he was found and hospitalized for exhaustion. Whether this incident was a nervous breakdown or a veiled attempt to leave his business and family to pursue a more artistic lifestyle is still under speculation. Whatever the reason, he soon left Ohio for good and moved back to Chicago to work again for the Long-Critchfield Company. This time, however, he was determined to also be a novelist, and joined the Chicago literary and journalist circles, which included Margaret Anderson of the Little Review, Harriet Monroe of Poetry Magazine, and writers Ben Hecht and Carl Sandburg. He began publishing short stories and poetry regularly in the aforementioned magazines, and his novel-writing career began in 1916 with the publication of Windy McPherson's Son. His real fame as a writer came in 1919, with the publication of his classic work, Winesburg, Ohio.

From the late 1910's through the mid 1920's, Anderson moved frequently, to New York City, Fairhope Alabama, New Orleans, Reno Nevada, and back to New Orleans. He met Gertrude Stein and James Joyce on his first trip to Paris in 1921, and remained friends with Stein for the rest of his life. In 1922 he befriended William Faulkner in New Orleans; Faulkner considered Anderson a mentor. In 1926 he bought a home near Marion, Virginia, which he named "Ripshin" (after a nearby creek of the same name) and, aside from travelling, lived there for the rest of his life. With money borrowed from his patron Burton Emmett, he bought two newspapers in Marion, the Marion Democrat and the Smyth County News. From this time forward he continued to write novels, short stories, autobiographical works, articles in his newspapers, and essays in other publications.

Anderson was married four times: To Cornelia Lane (1904-1916), with whom he had two sons and a daughter; to artist and music teacher Tennessee Mitchell (1916-1924); to Elizabeth Prall (1924-1932); and to Eleanor Copenhaver (1933-1941). Copenhaver, an executive with the YWCA, was interested in labor conditions in the South, and was inspiring to Anderson in terms of topics for his articles on social justice and the plight of the American workingman and African Americans. In early 1941, he embarked on the S.S. Santa Lucia with Eleanor, Thornton Wilder, and others on an unofficial good-will tour of South America. He became gravely ill at sea, was taken to a hospital in Colon, in the Panama Canal Zone, and died of peritonitis on March 8, 1941. The newspaper accounts reported one month later that before embarking on his trip, he apparently accidentally ingested a wooden toothpick, which pierced the abdominal wall and caused the fatal infection.


Scope and Content of the Collection

Correspondence, scrapbooks, clippings, photographs, audiovisual material, royalty statements, personal financial records, artifacts, miscellaneous ephemera, autographed works, and literary manuscripts (many unpublished; also fragments, notes, and tentative sketches for short stories).

Narrative descriptions of the subject matter, types of material, and arrangement of each series are available through the Organization section of the finding aid.


Papers are organized in the following series:

Series 1: Outgoing Correspondence, 1915-1941. Box(es) 1 - 14

Letters from Sherwood Anderson to friends, publishers, and other correspondents. Outgoing letters from Eleanor Anderson, prior to Sherwood Anderson's death in 1941, are interfiled. Topics of letters include Anderson's views on writing, his personal and business-related travels, the publishing of his works, and his relationships with family, friends, and other writers.

Includes correspondence to Jack Conroy, Malcolm Cowley, Arthur Dove, Theodore Dreiser, John Emerson and Anita Loos, Ben Hecht, Aldous Huxley, Horace and Otto Liveright, H. L. Mencken, Harriet Monroe, Georgia O'Keeffe, Maxwell Perkins, Paul Rosenfeld, Gertrude Stein, Alfred Stieglitz, and Stark Young.

Arranged alphabetically by addressee. After the alphabetical run of correspondents there are several folders of letters grouped by similar subject, such as fan mail, requests of various kinds, invitations, etc.

Series 2: Incoming Correspondence, 1913-1941. Box(es) 15 - 32

Letters to Sherwood Anderson regarding his personal and professional career. Letters to Eleanor Anderson prior to March 8, 1941 are interfiled and are noted in the folder title. The series is rich in correspondence to publishers, magazine editors, translators, Anderson scholars, and lecture bureaus. Occasionally Anderson's reply is copied onto the reverse of the original letter. At the end of the alphabetical run of correspondence are letters arranged by subject such as fan mail, requests, invitations, solicitations, and thank you notes.

The series includes correspondence from Margaret Anderson, Millen Brand, Maxwell Perkins, Charles Connick, Malcolm Cowley, Hart Crane, Floyd Dell, John Dos Passos, Arthur Dove, Theodore Dreiser, John Emerson, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Julia Collier Harris, Ernest Hemingway, J.J. Lankes, Anita Loos, H.L. Mencken, George Jean Nathan, Georgia O'Keeffe, Paul Rosenfeld, Carl Sandburg, Ferdinand Schevill, Roger Sergel, Gertrude Stein, Alfred Stieglitz, Jean Toomer, and Stark Young.

Arranged alphabetically by correspondent, with correspondence by subject filed alphabetically afterwards.

Series 3: Eleanor Anderson Correspondence, 1941-1981. Box(es) 33 - 35

Correspondence of Sherwood Anderson's fourth wife Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson (1896-1985), mainly regarding Sherwood Anderson's estate and the posthumous publication of his memoirs and letters. Many letters and telegrams dating from 1941 are condolences or get well wishes sent to Colon, Panama Canal Zone shortly before and after Sherwood's death. The series also includes requests for information from Sherwood Anderson scholars. At the end of the run of correspondence are letters arranged by subject such as fan mail, requests, condolences, and permissions.

The series includes significant correspondence from Wharton Esherick, Charles Funk, Maxwell Geismar, Anita Loos, Ferdinand Schevill, and institutions such as The Library of Congress, Princeton University Libraries, The Newberry Library, The University of Chicago, and The University of Pennsylvania.

Arranged first by Outgoing and then Incoming correspondence, and alphabetically therein.

Series 4: Family Correspondence, 1904-1968. Box(es) 36 - 44

Letters to and from Sherwood Anderson's family members. A bulk of the correspondence (five document cases) is from Sherwood Anderson to Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson and is rich in information regarding Sherwood's travels during his lecture tours from 1930-1941. Also significant in size is Sherwood's correspondence to and from Laura Copenhaver, his mother-in-law. The series also includes letters to and from his children, brothers, and wives.

Arranged alphabetically by the author of the correspondence.

Series 5: Works, 1903-1992. Box(es) 45-98

Manuscripts, typescripts, proofs, printed items, and reprints from Anderson's lifetime and after Anderson's death in 1941. Anderson often worked on scrap paper, or on the back of business stationery, invoices, or hotel letterhead. Works often include explanatory notes by Eleanor Anderson, and many works handwritten by Sherwood Anderson in almost illegible script have Eleanor's clarification of the words pencilled in above. The order and content of works were kept intact if a note specified that Eleanor Anderson or Paul Rosenfeld worked on those documents. "AD", "ADS", "TD", and "TDS" refer to whether the document is autograph or typescript, signed or not. Quite a few items came from the Burton Emmett estate or Burton Emmett's wife Mary. Emmett was Anderson's patron, a wealthy advertising man who started collecting Anderson's works in 1927. After Emmett died in the mid 1930's, his wife continued to aid Anderson. It was thanks to Emmett's money that Anderson was able to purchase the Smyth County News and the Marion Democrat, both weekly papers, in the fall of 1927. [First announcement of purchase of the Marion Democrat Nov. 1, 1927].

"Journals" consist in large part of material appearing elsewhere in the Works series, and are in the same order that was established by Eleanor Anderson and Paul Rosenfeld. Memoir chapters are also in the same order in which they were found.

The "Letter-a-day" series was written in the year prior to Anderson's marriage to Eleanor Copenhaver, and the series was intended to be read by Eleanor after Anderson's death (see Eleanor Anderson's letter of March 25, 1943). They were written in various locales: New York, Washington D.C., Tucson, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Columbus, Marion Virginia, in transit (on trains and at sea), Paris, Amsterdam (where he spoke at the World Congress Against War), and London. The letters include their envelopes, which Eleanor annotated with subject headings. Sometimes the letters also include enclosures, such as clippings, materials relating to the World Congress Against War (August), and fan letters. At the end are fragmentary and unidentified letters, and two typescripts of all the letters combined.

For more works, see also Series 10, Scrapbooks, for scattered short printed works.

Arranged alphabetically by work title. Works by other authors are filed at the end, alphabetically by author name.

Series 6: Legal/Financial Files, 1920-1976 . Box(es) 99-102

Cancelled checks, correspondence, contracts, royalty statements, will and estate information, and other documents. This series reflects the business enterprises of Anderson, as well as his personal finances. There are day-to-day accounting files, such as cancelled checks (mostly Eleanor Anderson's), bills, and receipts. In addition, there is stock, tax, and real estate information as well as Anderson's will. There is a substantial amount of correspondence to and from literary agents and book publishers.

Filed alphabetically by the subject of the materials.

Series 7: Publicity, 1893-1984. Box(es) 103-105

Reviews, clippings, magazine features, playbills, advertisements, and fliers relating to Sherwood Anderson or to his literary output. See also Series 10, Scrapbooks, for newsclippings and reviews of Anderson's works.

Organized into features about Anderson (arranged chronologically), material about various events, family members, and homes, and then reviews, clippings, and other material about his works (arranged alphabetically).

Series 8: Development, 1941-1973, . Box(es) 106-107

In the late 1940's when it was determined that Sherwood Anderson's papers would be deposited at the Newberry Library, library staff in conjunction with Eleanor Anderson started a project wherein they contacted Anderson's prominent correspondents and asked for their copies of Anderson's letters to be donated to the collection. This series includes copies of the form letters sent, an information sheet about the contact, and the contact's reply.

The series includes correspondence from Stringfellow Barr, Millen Brand, Whit Burnett, Trigant Burrow, Erskine Caldwell, Jacques Chambrun, Edward Estlin Cummings, Mitchell Dawson, Floyd Dell, John Dos Passos, Max Eastman, George Grosz, Maurice Hanline, Ben Huebsch, Alfred Knopf, J.J. Lankes, Otto Liveright, Anita Loos, John Marin, H.L. Mencken, Henry Miller, George Jean Nathan, Georgia O'Keeffe, Ferdinand Schevill, Jean Toomer, and Stark Young.

Arranged alphabetically by correspondent.

Series 9: Photographs, Sound Recordings, and Moving Image Material, ca. 1876-1977. Box(es) 108-112

Prints and negatives, audioreel tape, and videocassette concerning Anderson, his family, friends, homes, and works.

Arranged by media format, and alphabetically by subject therein.

Series 10: Scrapbooks, 1914-1935. Box(es) 113-117

Seven scrapbooks, mostly comprised of newsclippings, works, and reviews of works. See also Series 5, Works, and Series 7, Publicity for more clippings of printed works and reviews of the works. It is assumed that five of the seven books were compiled by Anderson, including reviews of his novels and other publications, and two scrapbooks containing columns he penned in his newspapers. One volume appears to be a compilation of news articles used as research for his novel Kit Brandon. Volume 3 is the most eclectic scrapbook, compiled by Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson; along with clippings and reviews there are sketches, playbills, and printed items. Volume 7 has no relevance to Sherwood Anderson; it appears to be a memento scrapbook compiled by his first wife, Cornelia Lane Anderson.

Arranged by topic of scrapbook, with scrapbook by Cornelia Anderson at the end.

Series 11: Artifacts and Artwork, 1917-1938. Box(es) 118-119

Original sketches, drawings, and sculpture, along with clippings from newspapers and photoreproductions. Anderson was a popular subject for caricature, and there are many prints and clippings from newspapers of various artist renderings of his image.

Arranged alphabetically by name of artist, or by subject if the artist is unknown.

Series 12: Miscellaneous, 1872-1992, . Box(es) 120-121

Arranged alphabetically by type of document.
