The Financier is the first book in Dreiser's epic 'Trilogy of Desire', based upon the life of Chicago streetcar tycoon Charles Tyson Yerkes. Lead character Frank Cowperwood serves as a conduit for Dreiser's naturalist leanings, as he cajoles, swindles, and double-deals his way to success - only to have the same done to him in kind - in a raw, amoral battle of wits and cunning for wealth, women, and power. True to form, Dreiser pulled no punches in writing this semi-biographic work - a trait that often garnered negative attention from the censors of his day. This edition - while more costly than others available - is presented in a standard font size, has been completely re-laid in a modern form, and offers a page count that accommodates the original work without sacrificing readability.

Before coming to national attention for his novel "Sister Carrie", Theodore Dreiser worked for nearly a decade as a magazine editor and freelance writer. In this volume, liberally seasoned with period illustrations, Yoshinobu Hakutani has collected and annotated a rich selection of Dreiser's early writings on the cultural milieu of his day. In these brief essays, Dreiser sallies into the vibrant world of creative work in turn-of-the-century America. He inspects the eccentric and revealing paraphernalia of artists' studios, probes the work habits of writers, and goes behind the scenes in the popular song-writing business, where this week's celebrity is next week's has-been. He notes the proliferation of organizations such as the Camera Club of New York and the American Water-Color Society and profiles or interviews famous figures such as Alfred Stieglitz, William Dean Howells, and the legendary impresario Major James Burton Pond. He also introduces numerous women artists, novelists, and musicians, including the prolific and tireless Amelia Barr (mother of fourteen children and author of thirty-two novels), the illustrator Alice B. Stephens, and the opera singer Lillian Nordica. Hakutani's notes provide biographical detail on dozens of now-obscure individuals mentioned by Dreiser. Bubbling up through Dreiser's observations and reflections are a keen curiosity about the creative process and a passion for identifying the peculiarly American spirit reflected in the young nation's artists and their work. These miniature portraits of the people who were the talk of the town at the turn of the century capture American culture at a moment when the United States was intent on demonstrating its ability to produce fine art and literature worthy of European models yet distinctively its own.

Depicting the harsh realities of American life and the dark side of the American Dream, a story based on true events follows Clyde Griffiths, an apathetic man brought up in poverty who murders his pregnant girlfriend to marry a woman who will bring him in
