FORGOTTEN FRONTIERS - THEODORE DREISER
Forgotten Frontiers Dreiser and the Land of the Free, by Dorothy Dudley, First Edition, 1932, Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, 485 pages, Dust Jacket has some edge tears, nothing detrimental, and in good condition.
Theodore Dreiser has loomed a massive and enigmatic mountain against the American literary scene. However, though his novels and short stories have been read by hundreds of thousands of people, though his work and personality have always caused dissent and clamor, there is actually little known to the public about the man himself, his origin, his grim fight for freedom of expression and thought.
This book is not only about Drieser, it is about America, beginning thirty years ago when restless and creative men and women were tearing themselves, and the nation with them, away from the tradition-encrusted soil not only of the Middle West but of the whole country. It recites what Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson, Masters, Floyd Dell, Lewis, Mencken, Sandburg and a host of other fighters against our sentimentality and prudery said and thought and did.
Shipping and postage expense in the U.S. is $5.00 and insurance is optional. We will ship internationally, however there is an extra cost involved.
Combined shipping expense for those who obtain more than one item.
