Published by Doubleday in 1900, it gained a reputation as a shocker, for Dreiser had dared to give the public a heroine whose \"cosmopolitan standard of virtue\" brings her from Wisconsin, with four dollars in her purse, to a suite at the Waldorf and glittering fame as an actress. With \"Sister Carrie,\" the original manuscript of which is in the New York Public Library collections, Dreiser told a tale not \"sufficiently delicate\" for many of its first readers and critics, but which is now universally recognized as one of the greatest and most influential American novels.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391096061997,"sku":"21021","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_7aaa23a7-b0a2-4fda-899a-33a8e3f0651d.jpg?v=1787351797","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/sister-carrie-an-authoritative-text-backgrounds-and-sources-criticism","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
