A Brief Introduction to English by American Writer theodore dreiser

Theodore dreiser is an American novelist. Born in Treehot, Indiana. My father is a poor German immigrant. He received an early education in a public school and later went to Indiana University. I have been engaged in journalism for most of my life. I traveled all over Chicago, Pittsburgh, new york and other big cities, extensively and deeply observed and understood the society, and accumulated rich materials for future literary creation.

The first novel Sister Carrie (1900) reveals struggle for existence under the cloak of the prosperity of capitalist society through the story of a rural girl Carrie who went to Chicago to make a living and became a famous actress, and deeply describes the society in which the rich and the poor are opposed in the United States. The novel was banned for a long time because it was accused of being "destructive", but some free copies distributed attracted the attention of many important writers. 191/year, Jenny came out, and then the first two parts of the trilogy, The Financier (19 12) and The Giant (1912), were desired. Genius (19 15) is one of Dreiser's most satisfactory novels. It accuses capitalist society of destroying art through the fall of a young painter. True crime's American Tragedy (1925) is Dreiser's masterpiece. His artistic features-broad social picture, rich and tortuous plot, in-depth and meticulous psychological description, contrast of different scenes and unique language-are all reflected in this masterpiece.

1944, Dreiser was awarded an honorary award by the American Literature and Art Society. Fortress (1946) and Stoga (1947) were published after the writer's death. Both of these books reflect Dreiser's interest in religious philosophy in his later years. 1945, join the American producers' party. On February 28th of the same year, 65438+ passed away.
