| This volume of collected interviews represents the most recent work in the steadily advancing Dreiser Edition project sponsored by the University of Connecticut and the University of Pennsylvania library. The book's editors are veteran scholars who have written extensively about the Indiana-born author of Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925). The seventy-four interviews presented here account for the most important of the nearly two hundred that Dreiser gave. They date from 1902 to 1946, the latest published a few months after his death by one of his literary secretaries. Rusch and Pizer have also provided their own excellent historical commentary and textual methodology essays. In addition, the editors have included an exhaustive bibliography of Dreiser interviews, both those reprinted in their book and the others extant but unselected. |
