Autorenporträt

Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) was an American novelist and journalist, recognized as one of the preeminent figures in the naturalist movement of the early 20th century. His narratives often feature protagonists who grapple with the forces of capitalism and social conformity, portrayed with unflinching realism and psychological depth. Dreiser's upbringing in a poor family in Terre Haute, Indiana, informed much of his later writing, which explores themes of poverty, ambition, and the pursuit of the American Dream. His masterwork, 'Sister Carrie' (1900), drew harsh initial criticism for its candid representation of sexuality and rebellion against social norms, but it is now considered a landmark in American literature. Dreiser's 'An American Tragedy' (1925) reinforces his preoccupation with the darker aspects of the American psyche, depicting the destructive consequences of unchecked ambition. Alongside his novels, Dreiser's expansive bibliography includes short stories, essays, and autobiographical works compiled in publications such as 'THEODORE DREISER: Novels, Short Stories, Essays & Biographical Works'. His contributions to American letters have been heralded for their contribution to literary naturalism and his ability to encapsulate the complexities of human nature and the social environment of his era. Dreiser's work continues to be studied and admired for its gritty realism and profound insights into human behavior and social structures.
