Novelist
Theodore Dreiser
Sister Carrie was effectively suppressed by its own publisher in 1900 for being immoral, and An American Tragedy made him one of the major American naturalists.
Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best-known novels include Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925).
