THEODORE
DREISER’S
FIRST NOVEL SINCE 1915
An American
Tragedy
It is a great moment in American literature that sees the
publication of Theodore Dreiser’s first novel in nine years. Mr.
Dreiser’s strict standards of artistic rectitude are ever
untouched by alien influences. What he writes must square with
the artist’s loftiest vision. We have been Mr. Dreiser’s
publishers since 1917. Our rather long period of suspense in
waiting for a new Dreiser novel has more than justified itself in
_An American Tragedy_. 2 vols. boxed.

keyed up to that pitch.”—Stuart P. Sherman, _N. Y. Herald
Tribune_.

World_.

Y. Sun_.
