Reviews

'Touching on the entire spectrum of the author’s controversial life and career, Theodore Dreiser Recalled is a must read not only for Dreiserians but for anyone interested in a multiperspectival portrayal of a watershed figure in US realism and naturalism.'
Klaus H. Schmidt, Studies in American Naturalism

Reviews ‘Riveting reading… the continually changing perspectives on Dreiser from different subject positions convey a dynamic and complex personality… Theodore Dreiser Recalled is best read in book reviewer fashion, cover to cover.’
Clare Eby, American Literary Realism
