And wherein did these latter differ so greatly from the successful?" -Theodore Dreiser, An American Tragedy (1925) An American Tragedy (1925) by Theodore Dreiser is based on the 1906 murder of Grace Brown, her lover's immorality, and his subsequent trial.

THEODORE DREISER (1871-1945) was a pre-eminent American novelist of the first half of the twentieth century. He believed that the experiences of working-class people striving for economic, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment were viable subjects for serious fiction, and for this reason he was regarded as an anatomist of the American Dream.
