The short story “Mother” by Sherwood Anderson is a striking example of psychological prose in American modernism of the early 20th century. The action takes place in the provincial town of Winesburg. At the center of the story are the themes of unfulfilled hopes, inner breakdown, and a hidden spiritual struggle of the individual.
