Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Sister Carrie edition that was published in 1900, long regarded as a watershed work in American fiction, was actually a censored misrepresentation of Drieser's original story. When, 80 years later, the Pennsylvania Edition first appeared, replete with scholarly apparatus, it was hailed from coast to coast as a literary event of major importance. The Pennsylvania Edition restored the 36, 000 words that had been excised at the insistence of the author's wife, his publisher, and a friend. This edition contains the complete, unexpurgated text, without the scholarly apparatus, plus a new introductory essay by Thomas P. Riggio. | Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
