A milestone in American literature, presented in its complete and unedited version. Dreiser's unsparing tale of a country girl's rise to fortune as a wealthy man's mistress marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America. Both its content and Dreiser's objective and non-moralizing approach made it highly controversial, leading to publication only in a heavily edited version in 1900. In this restored version, the truly revolutionary nature of "Sister Carrie" is fully revealed.
