Cover of Theodore Dreiser: Jennie Gerhardt (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

Published in 1911, Dreiser’s bittersweet novel follows his long-suffering protagonist, Jennie Gerhardt, in her efforts to find love and forge a meaningful life. This proves to be difficult in a society quick to judge poverty as a moral failing, a theme that remains relevant today, nearly a century after it was written.

About the author

Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) was an American writer best known for controversial naturalistic novels such as Sister Carrie (1900), The Financier (1912), and An American Tragedy (1925). Assessing his impact on American literature, H. L. Mencken wrote: ‘American writing, before and after his time, differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin.’
