Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRelying heavily on the manuscripts and letters in the Dreiser Collection of the University of Pennsylvania Library, Professor Pizer seeks to establish the facts of the sources and composition of each of Dreiser's eight novels and to study the themes and form of the completed works. In this study he relates what can be discovered about the factual reality of a novel to its imaginative reality. His interpretation of the novels avoids the suggestion that there is a single overriding theme or direction in Dreiser's work and emphasizes that Dreiser deserves examination primarily on the basis of the individuality and worth of each of his novels. A separate chapter is devoted to each of the novels: \u003ci\u003eSister Carrie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJennie Gerhardt\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe \"Genius\u003c\/i\u003e,\" \u003ci\u003eThe Financier\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Titan\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAn American Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bulwark\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Stoic\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Pizer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081665851X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816658510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/1976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Donald Pizer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425085899007,"sku":"9780816658510","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd46f5da-1859-4eda-bcef-a4739f6bab71.jpg?v=1761536910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-novels-of-theodore-dreiser-donald-pizer-9780816658510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
