Anderson (1876-1941) collected most of his writing into four volumes of short fiction: Winesburg, Ohio, The Triumph of the Egg, Horses and Men, and Death in the Woods. This volume covers the bulk of Anderson's important stories and is divided into four sections devoted to each volume of short fiction. Each chapter treats one story and covers the circumstances surrounding the composition, sources and influences that may have contributed to the story, relationships between the story and Anderson's other works, critical and interpretive commentary, and a list of works cited.
