Sister Carrie
From Shelf: The 100 best novels written in English: the full list (Robert McCrum, The Guardian Dec 2021)
Presents a story of a country girl's rise to riches as the mistress of a wealthy man which marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America.
A landmark in American literature, presented in its complete and unexpurgated version. Dreiser's unsparing story of a country girl's rise to riches as the mistress of a wealthy man marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America. Both its subject matter and Dreiser's objective, nonmoralizing approach made it highly controversial, and only a heavily edited version could be published in 1900. In this restored version, the truly revolutionary nature of Sister Carrie is made fully evident.
