"Sister Carrie" was printed in 1900 but its publication was delayed for 12 years because it was thought that its subject matter might give offence. It tells of a young woman who comes to a city in search of fame and her relationship with a middle-aged man. The text includes an introduction.
`When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse.' The tale of Carrie Meeber's rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood's slow decline captures the twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in modern city life as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, Dreiser's remarkable first novel has deeply influenced such key writers as William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow, and Joyce Carol Oates. This edition uses the 1900 text, which is regarded as the author's final version. This book is intended for general; students from the sixth-form upwards following courses on world literature, American literature, American studies, and the novel.
