Theodore Dreiser
American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school
Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945) is an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school.
His novels often feature main characters who succeed 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).
