Sister CarrieThe Pennsylvania EditionRevised EditionTheodore Dreiser. Edited by Thomas P. Riggio"In restoring Dreiser's masterpiece, the editors of the Pennsylvania Edition have given us more than a literary curiosity; like art historians cleaning a da Vinci fresco, they have uncovered the original glowing with an ancient newness."--Richard Lingeman, The Nation"No work of such historical repute . . . has ever been republished with such major change. . . . The 'new' novel . . . will probably become the accepted standard."--Herbert Mitgang, New York Times"The 'restored' Sister Carrie . . . is in many ways a different book, fuller, less cruel, more recognizably Dreiser's own work."--Alfred Kazin, New York Review of BooksThe University of Pennsylvania Dreiser Edition1998 | 544 pages | 6 x 9ISBN 978-0-8122-1638-7 | Paper | $28.95s | £19.00 World Rights | Literature

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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. Naive 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.
