"My Dear Rider" [Fremont Rider, an editorial assistant of Dreiser's at the Butterick Publishing Co.*]. An important letter requesting permission to use comments Dreiser had made in some earlier letters in publicizing the book. In part: ".Harper & Brothers have asked permission of me to use excerpts from the various letters concerning Jennie Gerhardt." *This letter is not in the Collected Letters, by Robert Elias. But see p. 110, Vol. I for a related letter to Rider referring to Jennie Gerhardt. Dreiser submitted the first completed draft of Jennie Gerhardt to Rider for criticism. "Jennie Gerhardt" was filmed in 1933, directed by Marion Gering from the novel by Theodore Dreiser. Starring Sylvia Sidney as Jennie Gerhardt; Donald Crook as Lester Kane; Mary Astor as Letty Pace; Edward Arnold as Sen. Brander and H.B. Warner as William Gerhardt. Upon seeing the film, Theodore Dreiser was so pleased with the adaptation after seeing a preview, he sent a telegram to Paramount boss B.P. Schulberg saying, "Jennie moving improvisation upon by theme, excellently cast, beautifully interpreted.". Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine.

Sinopsis

Theodore Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, on August 27, 1871. After a poor and difficult childhood, Dreiser broke into newspaper work in Chicago in 1892. A successful career as a magazine writer in New York during the late 1890s was followed by his first novel, Sister Carrie (1900). When this work made little impact, Dreiser published no fiction until Jennie Gerhardt in 1911. There then followed a decade and a half of major work in a number of literary forms, which was capped in 1925 by An American Tragedy , a novel that brought him universal acclaim. Dreiser was increasingly preoccupied by philosophical and political issues during the last two decades of his life. He died in Los Angeles on December 28, 1945.
