Theodore Dreiser
Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser was an American writer and journalist who pioneered the naturalist school of literature.
His novels portrayed life as a struggle against ungovernable forces, with characters valued for their persistence rather than moral virtue.
Dreiser's work often resembled studies of nature more than tales of human agency.
His naturalistic approach to storytelling influenced American literature significantly, as he unflinchingly depicted the harsh realities of urban life and the human condition.
Dreiser's writing style was characterized by its detailed observations and unflinching portrayal of social issues, making him a key figure in early 20th-century American literature.
