Erskine Preston Caldwell was an American writer known for novels and short stories set in the American South, in which he used blunt language to depict the lives of the poor and marginalized. He rose to prominence in the 1930s and 1940s with works such as Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre, which, by exposing violence, sexuality and social injustice, provoked scandal, censorship and even seizures in libraries, while also attracting substantial critical and commercial attention. Tobacco Road was adapted into a long-running stage play and made into a film directed by John Ford.
In addition to fiction, Caldwell worked as an essayist and war correspondent—he covered World War II on the Soviet front—and collaborated on photographic projects with Margaret Bourke-White. He served as editor of the American Folkways series from 1942 to 1955 and maintained an active life of writing and travel that fed his work.
His output sold in the millions, although public and critical reception became more critical in later decades; he is remembered today for his incisive portrait of a segregated South and for the controversies surrounding his themes and style.
