Condition: Near Fine
Description: Quarter linen with brown buckram boards. Gilt lettering on spine and top edge gilt. In very good beige slip case. Copy #933 of 1500 by The Limited Edition Club. Signed by illustrator Reginald Marsh on colophon. Marsh (1898 - 1954) was a celebrated American painter of the Social Realism movement, born in Paris and most notable for his depictions of life in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s, his works are found in major museums throughout the United States. Introduction by journalist, editor and literary critic Burton Rascoe. Near Fine. The lower front cover corner bears a very slight bump. Tall 8vo. xiv, 387. Dreiser's masterpiece and first novel. Exultantly praised by the likes of Sinclair Lewis and H. L. Mencken, it is on Modern Library's list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In Sister Carrie, Dreiser portrays a changing society, writing about a 18 year old woman who flees rural life for the big city of Chicago and struggles with poverty, economic exploitation, complex relationships with men, and as a kept woman. For its libertine sexual morality it received resistance in publishing. The initial publisher Doubleday & McClure accepted the manuscript then declined to publish until relenting at the insistence of Dreiser and 1,008 copies were printed in 1900. Although often well received by critics, the publisher refused to promote it, and it sold less than 500 copies. All subsequent editions were censored until a scholarly edition released by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1981. Sister Carrie was adapted for the 1952 twice-Oscar nominated film, Carrie, starring Jennifer Jones and Laurence Olivier. Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (1871 - 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school who was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930.
