Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Comprehensive edition of the definitive Dreiser biography. Tells the story of his writer's crisis after the initial failure of Sister Carrie and how he survived it to become one of the most influential American writers. Offers glimpses of journalism in the pre-Yellow and Yellow eras and of 20th century literary tides and social crosscurrents. Chronicles Dreiser's personal history through the backdrop of America in the age of enterprise and the age of progressivism.
