"The new Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia is a handsome piece of work which shows thorough and responsible attention to its subject and careful quality control. Keith Newlin, the coeditor of Dreiser Studies, has assembled a roster of contributors that includes many of the leading Dreiser scholars of this generation....The entries are notably well-written, and Newlin has delimited his topic intelligently, focusing not only on Dreiser's texts, but also on the biographical and contextual matter of Dreiser's richly varied public and personal life....[a] neatly cross-referenced compendium of information about the life and works of one of our most important authors....This volume will serve its readers very well."-American Literary Realism Nearly 70 scholars, from well established veterans to newcomers, contribute articles relating American writer Dreiser (1871-1945).
