Two tall octavo volumes (25cm); black and silver paper over off-white vegetable vellum, with titles stamped in black on spines; 428; 429-823pp. Spines are intact but slightly loose and have slight discoloration and small spotting in a few places, slight fraying on edges.

Pages are in uncut original condition, a nice sticker of original owners name is on first page of both books. Books are in very good condition overall. Fifteen fictionalized portraits of women in Dreiser's life.

Among Dreiser's most compelling and most neglected works; as Irene Gammel points out in her entry in A Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia (2003), Dreiser's interweaving of biography, autobiography, and fiction has created a text that must be seen as central in unraveling the author's (and his society's) ambivalence about the roles and powers of the New Woman who would come into her own in the course of the twentieth century. Subject: Modern Fiction, Social Fiction, Women.
