Theodore Dreiser, a titan of American naturalism, etched his name into literary history with a potent blend of realism and social commentary. While often categorized alongside writers like Stephen Crane and Jack London, Dreiser's style, though rooted in the naturalism movement, stands apart, defined by a unique depth, a raw, almost brutal honesty, and a relentless exploration of human nature's complexities. This essay delves into the key elements of Dreiser's style, using his seminal works, Sister Carrie and The Financier, as illustrative examples
