The first published collection of the esteemed novelist's prolific political works
Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945) was a major American novelist of powerful and unstinting realism. His career peaked with a sequence of masterpieces, including Sister Carrie, Jennie Gerhardt, The Financier, and An American Tragedy.Jude Davies is a professor of American literature and culture at the University of Winchester. He is the coauthor of Gender, Ethnicity, and Sexuality in Contemporary American Film and author of numerous articles on Theodore Dreiser and literary naturalism.
"Although not formally a political theorist, Dreiser wrote as a citizen who spent his creative energies observing the American scene. He was prolific in his field and influential in his day. This is indeed a book whose time has come. Jude Davies' commentaries make sense of a protean writer, exploring Dreiser's ideas in the context of the dynamics of his historical moment." oJames L. W. West III, general editor of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald
