Omschrijving

Many Marriages is Sherwood Anderson's probing novel of middle-class rebellion, spiritual unrest, and the search for authenticity in modern America.

Set in a Midwestern town, the novel centers on John Webster, a successful businessman who abruptly begins to question the conventions that have defined his life-marriage, propriety, social expectation, and material success. As Webster attempts to strip away the inherited assumptions of respectability, his crisis unsettles not only his family but the rigid moral structures of his community.

More overtly philosophical than Anderson's earlier Winesburg, Ohio, Many Marriages explores themes of sexuality, repression, individual awakening, and the tension between social conformity and personal truth. The novel reflects the ferment of the early 1920s, when traditional institutions were being reexamined in light of war, modern psychology, and shifting cultural norms.

Written in Anderson's characteristically plain yet psychologically searching prose, Many Marriages stands as a revealing document of American modernist experimentation and moral inquiry. This Wilder Publications edition presents the complete, unabridged 1923 text.
