James Maxwell Anderson (December 15, 1888 - February 28, 1959) was an American playwright, author, poet, journalist and lyricist.
As a youth 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.
He won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1933.
