Chicago and the Midwest collection
By 1920, Chicago had become an incubator of literary talent. The city helped shape the work of writers such as Theodore Dreiser, Carl Sandburg, and Sherwood Anderson. Literary manuscripts, notes, and letters from these writers—as well as works from other writers influenced by the Midwest—can be found in the Newberry’s archival collections.
