Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. This is "Theodore Dreiser " by F. O. Matthiessen, as published by William Sloane Associates in their "American Men of Letters Series" . Issued in 1951 it is in hardcover format, with a worn dust-jacket still present and intact. ******************************************** Theodore Dreiser, author of "Sister Carrie" and "An American Tragedy", is considered by many to be one of the greatest of American novelists. Yet his work is still considered to be controversial. The following is excerpted from the book's dust-jacket write-up : "Mr. Matthiessen 's literary achievement lies in the naked simplicity with which he has condensed within a few hundred pages the main outline of Dreiser's life, a penetrating analysis of his major works, and a study of Dreiser's philosophy. No mean achievement, that! Matthiessen performed the additional service of helping rescue Dreiser from those who have sought to obscure the man's devotion to truth by casting over his remains the ghostly mantle of mysticism. ******************************************** "What moved Dreiser, Matthiessen tells us, was his deep love of humankind, his tender and almost painful respect for the hopes and strivings of all men, be they ordinary or exceptional. That for the major portion of his life Dreiser believed that frustration was the stone upon which all hopes were blasted is less important than his passionate belief that hope must not and would not be abandoned.Like Whitman, Dreiser sensed and respected the legitimacy of those aspirations which were typical, multitudinous, and only too often contradictory. Theodore Dreiser will not cease , because of Matthiessen's book, to be a controversial figure, but the nature and sources of his power will be understood as they have never been understood before. " *************************************************** " F. O. Matthiessen, critic and scholar, and Professor of American Literature at Harvard, died in the spring of 1950. This book, which he had contracted to write for the American Men of Letters Series, was found among his papers, finished to the point where it could be published, as it is now, without other changes than those necessary to prepare the manuscript for the printer. He was the author of numerous distinguished volumes." ************************************************* SERIES : The American Men of Letters / TITLE : Theodore Dreiser [1871 - 1945] / AUTHOR : F. O.
