Notes on Life

‘It has long been known that Dreiser devoted much effort during the final two decades of his lfe to the preparation of a major philosophical work which remained unfinished at his death….The best evidence of Dreiser’s later thought would appear to be [t]his treatise, and it is appropriate that Marguerite Tjader and John J. McAleer–the two Dreiserians most sympathetic to the mystical religiosity of the later Dreiser–should make it available in published form.’ –American Literary Realism
