Talk:Sherwood Anderson

The Dial Award

Anderson was the recipient of first Dial Award in 1921. Ostensibly this was for his achievement in writing Winesburg, Ohio (novel) (at least according to: Hatcher, Harlan. Creating the Modern American Novel. Murray Hill, NY: Farrar & Rinehart, 1935.). I'm thinking this should be incorporated into the article at some point. Currently though I don't see an appropriate place to stick it. --Olegkagan (talk) 04:22, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

"Circle of Death"?

I dont know much about Sherwood Anderson yet, but there is a problem here with the mention that F. Scott Fitzgerald thought "Circle of Death" was one of his two best novels. It isnt listed among the body of work at the bottom of the page and is not easily found online. If it is a short story, as I suspect it may be, this needs to be altered.

I think you're right to question this. I've looked at a number of Anderson bibliographies and have not seen Circle of Death mentioned in any of them. We shouldn't exclude that it may be a short story, but that would still make the statement incorrect. If I can't find any citation for this statement, I'm going to remove it as it appears to be of dubious quality.--Olegkagan (talk) 02:50, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

List of Works

What is with more than half of his Works being listed with a publication date after he was dead? Are these simply new printing dates, or were these works actually 1st published after his death? Aren't the Works supposed to be listed as the date of 1st publication, or if another edition, than list the edition as well with the new print date? Aren't a list of Works meant to give the reader an idea of when the author was published? Stevenmitchell (talk) 09:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that too. Some of those appear to be articles/essays published in other books (which I don't believe belong in this bibliography). Some of them, as you can see, are indeed books of collected letters, some are just dated wrong (I'm talking about, probably among others, Perhaps Women and No Swank, which were both published while Anderson was still living). I'm currently putting together some notes on Anderson's bibliography and will be cleaning this one up in a few days, time permitting. --Olegkagan (talk) 02:36, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
