Eighty years ago, his wife, his friend, and his publisher did their best to tone
the book down. Dubbed too bleak, too sexually explicit, and too morbid
philosophically, the novel was rewritten by Dreiser even before it was
submitted to the publisher. Restoring 36,000 words, the Pennsylvania
Edition now gives us Dreiser's original novel.
Sister Carrie
in its
expanded form is, in effect, a new work of art by one of the major American
novelists of this century.
