Theodore Dreiser Books
August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945
Theodore Dreiser was an American novelist and journalist who pioneered the naturalist school. He is known for portraying characters whose value lies not in their moral code, but in their persistence against all obstacles. His literary situations more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency, exploring human existence in its raw state.
