The Salon Classics Book Group and the New York Public Library Back to Salon About Theodore Dreiser With the publication of "Sister Carrie" in 1900, Dreiser became the first American author to step into the 20th century, rejecting the cumbersome Victorian morality for what was considered to be a shocking new form of descriptive realism. This novel irrevocably altered the landscape of American literature and gave the country its first modern heroine, Carrie Meeber. In chronicling the rise of a fallen woman, Dreiser unwittingly also touched off a censorship battle that helped end the Victorian era and inspired a new generation of writers. Herman Theodore Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Ind., on Aug. 27, 1871. He was the ninth of 10 children. DreiserŐs childhood was marred by the downfall of his successful father, John Paul, the manager of a cotton mill. A series of unfortunate mishaps sent the family spiraling into poverty. In 1864, the mill burned down, and during the millŐs reconstruction (according to family legend), a beam hit John Paul on the head, an injury from which he never fully recovered. DreiserŐs father subsequently became obsessively religious and was easily cheated by his business partners. Theodore would remain deeply resentful of his father and of the poverty into which he plunged the family. At the age of 15, Dreiser moved to Chicago where he found work at numerous low-paying and frustrating jobs washing dishes, clerking in a hardware store and tracing freight cars. His working life was interrupted when a former teacher offered to send him to Indiana University for a year. During this time, Dreiser developed an interest in writing. When he moved back to Chicago, he decided to try his hand at journalism, and over several years, became a successful newspaper writer.

Home Page Source: Penn Special Collections - Dreiser Considered by many as the leader of Naturalism in American writing, Dreiser is also remembered for his stinging criticism of the genteel tradition and of what Howells described as the "smiling aspects of life" typifying America. In his fiction, Dreiser deals with social problems and with characters who struggle to survive. His sympathetic treatment of a "morally loose" woman in Sister Carrie was called immoral and he suffered at the hands of publishers. One of Dreiser's favorite fictional devices was the use of contrast between the rich and the poor, the urbane and the unsophisticated, and the power brokers and the helpless. While he wrote about "raw" experiences of life in his earlier works, in his later writing he considered the impact of economic society on the lives of people in the remarkable trilogy - The Financier The Titan , and The Stoic . His best known work is An American Tragedy which shows a young man trying to succeed in a materialistic society.

28. MITAhome Interesting comparison of characters from An American Tragedy and the individuals involved in the 1906 Chester Gillette murder case on which Dreiser based the novel. http://www.craigbrandon.com/MITAhome.html

News Photos Letter Lecture Tour ... Characters A famous murder mystery The Chester Gillette - Grace Brown murder case of 1906 was front-page news during the arrest, trial and execution of Gillette. It is still studied today as a model case of using "circumstantial" evidence. It was also the topic of several Adirondack folk songs and ghost stories. The primary reason it is still of interest, however, is that Theodore Dreiser used the case as the basis of his most famous novel, An American Tragedy (1925). It was also the basis of Tobias Picker's 2005 opera of the same title. Chester Gillette and Grace Brown worked together in 1905 at a skirt factory in Cortland, New York owned by Chester's uncle. Chester was born in Montana and traveled around the Pacific Northwest with his parents, who were captains in the Salvation Army. He attended Oberlin Academy prep school and later worked as a railroad brakeman before coming to Cortland. There he met Grace Brown, a farmer's daughter from South Otselic in Chenango County, New York, who had originally come to Cortland to baby-sit for her sister's child. They dated occasionally but most of their relationship was conducted in secret. In the spring of 1906 Grace found herself pregnant with Gillette's child and she went home to her parents after Gillette promised to take her away on the trip to the Adirondacks. While she apparently assumed this was to be a wedding trip, it is unknown whether Gillette actually promised to marry her.

Part of a large German-American family, and the ninth of ten children, his childhood was marked by poverty. His father, John Paul, had previously been a cotton mill manager, but a series of unfortunate accidents caused his fortunes to dwindle. In 1864 the cotton mill burned down, and during the reconstruction John Paul was hit in the head with a beam. He never fully recovered and as a result become deeply religious. He further was soon cheated by his business partners. The family was forced to move from one Indiana town to another in order to survive. Theodore Dreiser later resented his father for the family?s poverty. At the age of fifteen Dreiser moved to Chicago and held jobs washing dishes, clerking a hardware store, and tracing freight cars. Dreiser fortunately was able to escape when a former teacher offered to send him to Indiana University at Bloomington for a year. He soon became interested in journalism, but returned to Chicago and worked as a bill collector, real estate clerk and laundry-truck driver. Dreiser first entered the newspaper world by dispensing toys for the needy at Christmas for the Chicago Herald. He subsequently got hired as a cub reporter with the Chicago Globe and later went to St. Louis as a feature writer for the Globe-Democrat. Things took a turn for the worse when Dreiser accidently reviewed a theater performance in absentia even though it turned out the show was never performed. He left St. Louis and moved to Pittsburgh, working with the Dispatch. With a secure job again, Dreiser married Sara ?Jug? White after meeting her at the Chicago World?s Fair. The couple moved to New York where he received a job as a magazine editor. At the suggestion of his editor friend Arthur Henry, Dreiser began writing his first novel, the result of which was

HOME AUTHOR INDEX TITLE INDEX CATEGORY INDEX ... LINKS Dreiser, Theodore Biography Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) American author, outstanding representative of naturalism, whose novels depict real-life subjects in a harsh light. Dreiser's novels were held to be amoral, and he battled throughout his career against censorship and popular taste. This started with SISTER CARRIE (1900). It was not until 1981 that the work was published in its original form. Dreiser's principal concern was with the conflict between human needs and the demands of society for material success. "A woman should some day write the complete philosophy of clothes. No matter how young, it is one of the things she wholly comprehends. There is an indescribably faint line in the matter of man's apparel which somehow divides for her those who are worth glancing at and those who are not. Once an individual has passed this faint line on the way downward he will get no glance from her. There is another line at which the dress of a man will cause her to study her own." (from Sister Carrie Theodore Dreiser was born in Sullivan, Indiana, the ninth of ten children. His parents were poor. In the 1860s his father, a devout Catholic German immigrant, had attempted to establish his own woolen mill, but after it was destroyed in a fire, the family lived in poverty. Dreiser's schooling was erratic, as the family moved from town to town. He left home when he was 16 and worked at whatever jobs he could find. With the help of his former teacher, he was able to spend the year 1889-1890 at Indiana University. Dreiser left after only a year. He was, however, a voracious reader, and the impact of such writers as Hawthorne, Poe, Balzac, Herbert Spencer, and Freud influenced his thought and his reaction against organized religion.

Library Historical Documents Theodore Dreiser : The Church And Wealth In America The Church And Wealth In America Theodore Dreiser Chapter 14 of Tragic America I decry the power of the Church and its use of that power, in America in particular! Throughout the world, as all know, the churches are so organized as to have the wealth, size and formation of a great corporation, a government, or an army. And in America, the wealthy individuals who rule in corporate affairs appear to be attracted to the church by reason of its hold not only on the mind but the actions of its adherents. Politically, socially and otherwise, they count on its power and influence as of use to them. And not without reason, since especially among the ignorant and poor, its revealed wisdom counsels resignation and orders faith in a totally inscrutable hereafter. In short, it makes for ignorance and submission in the working class, And what more could a corporation-minded government or financial group, looking toward complete control of everything for a few, desire? That the Church has the money to make itself felt is shown by the table given below: Church Valuations in 1926 Baptist ................ $469,835,000 Congregational ......... 164,212,000 Jewish ................. 100,890,000 Methodist .............. 654,736,000 Presbyterian ........... 443,572,000 Protestant Episcopal ... 314,596,000

Sister Carrie BY THEODORE DREISER JOIN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SALON CLASSICS BOOK GROUP CHECK THE SCHEDULE COMING SOON: Galway Kinnell's BOOK GROUP ON EMILY DICKINSON F The later triumvirate of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner were admired by us not only for the books they made but also for the beauty of their prose. They were elegant stylists, and you could profitably imitate them. Dreiser was another sort of author altogether. He was, the professor explained, one of those Great Authors who was, ahem, not that good an author, if you know what I mean. His prose was, uh, maybe a little clunky. Even embarrassing in places. But he nevertheless was a true Artist. This, of course, appealed to us undergraduates enormously, especially as we weren't too confident of our own prose styles. The thought that one could attain greatness, despite some weakness in the basics, made perfect sense to us. I remember liking "Sister Carrie" very much 30 years ago and writing a learned term paper on it (which I will not trouble you with now, thank you very much) and earning a B in The Modern American Novel, and with all that in mind, I've plunged back into the novel the new "unexpurgated" version - with great interest for this Salon Magazine online discussion. It's fascinating to revisit a book that was important to me once, and to see how, over the years, my memory of it has misrepresented it. I honestly can't see what I thought I saw in it.
