Theodore Dreiser: Apostle Of Nature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432581879)

Theodore Dreiser: Apostle of Nature is a biography of the American novelist, journalist, and social critic Theodore Dreiser, written by Robert H. Elias. The book provides a comprehensive account of Dreiser's life, from his early years in Indiana to his rise to prominence as one of the most important writers of the early 20th century. Elias explores Dreiser's literary achievements, including his groundbreaking novels Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy, as well as his lesser-known works and his journalism. The author also delves into Dreiser's personal life, including his relationships with women, his political views, and his struggles with alcoholism and depression. Throughout the book, Elias emphasizes Dreiser's deep connection to the natural world, which he saw as a source of inspiration and a symbol of human freedom. He argues that Dreiser's commitment to nature was central to his literary vision and his social critique, and that it remains relevant today as we confront the environmental challenges of the 21st century. Overall, Theodore Dreiser: Apostle of Nature offers a compelling portrait of one of America's most important writers, and sheds light on the complex relationship between literature, nature, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
