Abstract

The most recurrent and the most impressive theme of Anderson which appears virtually in all his works is human loneliness and isolation. Anderson explores this theme with particular reference to the American society of his times. However, experience of loneliness is as old as man and known to mankind from times immemorial. But at no time in human history it was as widespread and pervasive as it is in modern times.
