When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two
things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or
she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes
worse.'
The tale of Carrie Meeber's rise to stardom in the theatre and
George Hurstwood's slow decline captures the twin poles of
exuberance and exhaustion in modern city life as never before. The
premier example of American naturalism, Dreiser's remarkable first
novel has deeply influenced such key writers as William Faulkner,
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow, and Joyce Carol Oates. This
edition uses the 1900 text, which is regarded as the author's final
version.
