Poor White (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Sherwood Anderson

Overview

One of Anderson’s most successful works, this 1920 novel moves from the banks of the Mississippi River to a small town in Ohio, tracing the rise from poverty of inventor Hugh McVey. As in Winesburg, Ohio, Anderson’s critique of industrialization’s impact on the land and soul of rural America is scathing.
