Vol. 2: Reviews scrapbook, with a few clippings of works ("Factory Town", "Danville, VA", and others). Includes reviews of: Winesburg, Ohio; Triumph of the Egg; Many Marriages; Windy McPherson's Son; Horses and Men; A Story Teller's Story; Dark Laughter; Tar - A Midwest Childhood; Sherwood Anderson's Notebook; Hello Towns!; and A New Testament, ca. 1916-1931
Scope and Contents note
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.
