Despite this, he found success as a dramatist and wrote a number of hit plays, including <i><a href="/wiki/What_Price_Glory%3F_(play)" title="What Price Glory? (play)">What Price Glory</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Both_Your_Houses" title="Both Your Houses">Both Your Houses</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Bad_Seed_(play)" title="The Bad Seed (play)">The Bad Seed</a></i>. Many of his works were adapted for the screen, and he wrote screenplays for other authors' works as well. Anderson was married three times and had a tumultuous personal life, dying in 1959 after suffering a stroke. His papers and personal effects can be found in various institutions, with the largest collection housed at the <a href="/wiki/Harry_Ransom_Center" title="Harry Ransom Center">Harry Ransom Center</a> at the University of Texas at Austin. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maxwell_Anderson&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Anderson was born on December 15, 1888, in Atlantic, Pennsylvania, the second of eight children to William Lincoln "Link" Anderson, a Baptist minister, and Charlotte Perrimela ('Premely') Stephenson, both of Scotch-Irish descent.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His family initially lived on his maternal grandmother Sheperd's farm in Atlantic, then moved to Andover, Ohio, where his father became a <a href="/wiki/Fireman_(steam_engine)" title="Fireman (steam engine)">railroad fireman</a> while studying to become a minister. They moved often, to follow their father's ministerial posts, and Maxwell was frequently sick, missing a great deal of school. He used his time sick in bed to read voraciously, and both his parents and Aunt Emma were storytellers, which contributed to Anderson's love of literature. </p><p>During a visit to his grandmother's house in Atlantic, at age 11, he met the first love of his life, Hallie Loomis, a slightly older girl from a wealthier family. His autobiographical tale <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Morning,_Winter_and_Night&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Morning, Winter and Night (page does not exist)">Morning, Winter and Night</a></i> told of rape, incest and sadomasochism on the farm.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was published under the pseudonym John Nairne Michealson to prevent offending family.

He then entered Stanford University, obtaining an Master's degree in English Literature in 1914. He became a high school English teacher in San Francisco.
