Description and Table of Contents

Description

This collection brings together the work of critics who approach Dreiser from psychoanalytical, feminist, new historicist, culturalist, and comparatist perspectives. Based on the works of the Pennsylvania Edition, several of the essays examine old, neglected, or unpublished texts, and explore questions of intertextuality and interauthority that recent reading has brought to light. A central concern of this volume is the intertextual and literary relationships between Dreiser and key American writers in modern times, such as Stephen Crane, Frankl Norris, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James T. Farrell, and Richard Wright.
