425 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's dark blue cloth with lettering to spine and script to front cover in original jacket. First edition. After the publication of his novel An American Tragedy (1925), Theodore Dreiser was generally considered the United States' greatest living author. He received early encouragement from the influential critic, H. L. Mencken, and his novel Sister Carrie (1900) enjoyed a warm critical reception in England, though its poor sales in the United States drove Dreiser to clinical depression.
