Theodore Dreiser, the American author best known for the novel Sister Carrie (1912), introduced a powerful style of writing that had a profound influence on the writers that followed him, from

Steinbeck to Fitzgerald and Hemingway. It was in Sister Carriethat Theodore Dreiser created a fictional account that laid bare the harsh reality of life in the big city and in which Dreiser established himself as the architect of a new genre.

Dreiser was born in 1871 into a large family whose fortunes had in the recent past taken a dramatic turn for the worse. Before Theodore’s birth, his father had built up a successful factory business only to loose it to a fire. The family was rather thrust into poverty, and Theodore spent his youth moving from place to place in the Midwest as the family tried desperately to reestablish itself financially. He left home at the age of sixteen. After earning some money, he spent a year at Indiana University but left school and returned to Chicago.

Dreiser first tried his hand at fiction by writing short stories rather than novels, and the first four short stories that he wrote were published. Based on this, he was encouraged to write a novel that would accurately depict the harsh life of the city, and the novel Sister Carrie was the result of his effort. This novel chronicles the life of Carrie Meeber, a small-town girl who goes to Chicago in a quest for fame and fortune. As Carrie progresses form factory worker to Broadway star by manipulating anyone in her path, Dreiser sends a clear message about the tragedy of life that is devoted purely to the quest for money.
