Synopsis "Marching Men"

First published in 1917, Marching Men sharply depicts the struggle of the American working class to adjust to the demands and pressures brought on by the Age of Mechanization. It is a powerful narrative about an age under assault by modern industrialization and corrupt labor practices. Anyone who wishes to know about this dynamic time in American history, should definitely read this exciting work. Apart from documenting a society in upheaval, the novel is a testimony to young men and women who had the courage to confront social and economic injustice. What is unique about the novel is how Sherwood Anderson addresses a major problem of the era without becoming didactic, Instead we register the change in America through the eyes of his young protagonist who reflects on the events from a troubled and compassionate perspective. This special edition also includes various photos and illustrations from the era in which the novel was written. They offer the reader snapshots of a period of transition that brought about changes Anderson saw as exciting but also as a threat to old established ways of life.
