About This Item
Wallace Stegner's copy with his ownership signature on the flyleaf. The second issue in the year of its original publication. Dreiser's second novel and his first commercial success, Jennie Gerhardt is described as "a powerful study of a woman tragically compromised by birth and fate. . . . Jennie has an illegitimate child by one man and lives out of wedlock with another--but Dreiser does not condemn her for her behavior." Stegner wrote an introduction to Dreiser for the American Literary Masters series. A very good book in red cloth with rubbing to corners and spine edges, lacking a dust jacket. A nice association between towering figures in 20th century American fiction
