Book Synopsis The Small Canvas by : Joseph Griffin
Download or read book The Small Canvas written by Joseph Griffin and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of Dreiser's short fiction oeuvre, comprising 31 stories. These include those collected in Free and Other Stories and Chains, and five uncollected ones. Most of them deal with the theme of success in American life and dramatize the excessive preoccupation with success, and the psychological tension experienced. Arguing for a serious consideration of Drieser, the novelist, as a skillful writer of short fiction, Griffin begins with an examination of Dreiser's theory of the short story and the circumstances that turned his interest away from newspaper work and toward artistic expression. He analyzes the publication and compositional history of each story and early reviews, and sets forth the layer patterns of theme and imagery unifying them. ISBN 0-8386-3217-5: $24.50.

Book excerpt: Set in 19th century Philadelphia and based on the life of flamboyant financier C.T. Yerkes, Dreiser's portrayal of the unscrupulous magnate Frank Cowperwood embodies the idea that behind every great fortune there is a crime. In Philly the protagonist is eventually imprisoned for embezzlement of public funds. He later leaves prison, departs for Chicago, makes another fortune, and becomes involved in still further shaddy practices. You don't read Dreiser for literary finesse, but his great intensity and keen journalistic eye give this portrait a powerful reality. The author wrote two subsequent novels based on the life of Yerkes: "The Titan" and "The Stoic." --Amazon.com.

This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser ( August 27, 1871 - December 28, 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best known novels include Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925). In 1930 he was nominated to the Nobel Prize in Literature 1918. Contents: Free; McEwen of the Shining Slave Makers; Nigger Jeff; The Lost Phoebe; The Second Choice; A Story of Stories; Old Rogaum and His Theresa; Will You Walk Into My Parlor; The Cruise of the Idlewild; Married; When the Old Century Was New.
Download or read book Sister Carrie written by Theodore Dreiser and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time 'American writing, before and after Dreiser's time, differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin,' said H. L. Mencken. Sister Carrie, Dreiser's great first novel, transformed the conventional 'fallen woman' story into a bold and truly innovative piece of fiction when it appeared in 1900. Naïve young Caroline Meeber, a small-town girl seduced by the lure of the modern city, becomes the mistress of a traveling salesman and then of a saloon manager, who elopes with her to New York. Both its subject matter and Dreiser's unsparing, nonjudgmental approach made Sister Carrie a controversial book in its time, and the work retains the power to shock readers today. 'Sister Carrie came to housebound and airless America like a great free Western wind, and to our stuffy domesticity gave us the first fresh air since Mark Twain and Whitman,' noted Sinclair Lewis. 'Dreiser enlarged, willy-nilly, by a kind of historical accident if you will, the range of American literature,' observed Robert Penn Warren. '[Sister Carrie] is a vivid and absorbing work of art.'
