“[A] major contribution to
Dreiser scholarship, perhaps the most important book since the Swanberg
biography, almost forty years ago. . . . [A] book that should be on every
Dreiserian's shelf. . . . A Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia will long
be the standard source of reference for the study of Dreiser--the man, his
works, his world. Anyone interested in Dreiser will immediately recognize
the extreme usefulness of this book and will appreciate the immense amount
of labor that went in its making. Thanks are due to the contributors--and
especially to Keith Newlin, for the extraordinary task of overseeing this
project. . . . [C]ongratulations on a difficult job, well done.”

guide to Dreiser's life and work."
