ellauri097.html on line 95: Mencken admired the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (he was the first writer to provide a scholarly analysis in English of Nietzsche´s views and writings) and Joseph Conrad. His humor and satire owed much to Ambrose Bierce and Mark Twain. He did much to defend Dreiser despite freely admitting his faults, including stating forthrightly that Dreiser often wrote badly and was a gullible man. Mencken also expressed his appreciation for William Graham Sumner in a 1941 collection of Sumner´s essays and regretted never having known Sumner personally. In contrast, Mencken was scathing in his criticism of the German philosopher Hans Vaihinger, whom he described as "an extremely dull author" and whose famous book Philosophy of 'Als ob' he dismissed as an unimportant "foot-note to all existing systems."

xxx/ellauri179.html on line 795: Mencken´s love of women was driven in part by the sympathy he had for female literary characters (especially those brought to life by his friend Theodore Dreiser), as well as his almost fanatical love of his mother. Mencken supported women´s rights, even if he had no affection for the suffragist.
xxx/ellauri179.html on line 992: Indeed, it could be a parlor game on the order of listing the famous alcoholics in American literature: Name the 20th-century authors who were anti-Semites — Theodore Dreiser; Hemingway; F. Scott Fitzgerald (a little); Sinclair Lewis; Ezra Pound, of course; T. S. Eliot; William Faulkner; Thomas Wolfe — the list goes on.

They all had styles as individual as fingerprints. Hemingway is easiest to ape, because he is the one genetically closest to one.
xxx/ellauri304.html on line 586: Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (/ˈdraɪsər, -zər/;[1] August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945), born from krauts, became an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best known novels include Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925).

xxx/ellauri305.html on line 48: Amerikkalainen tragedia on yhdysvaltalaisen kirjailijan Theodore Dreiserin vuonna 1925 julkaisema romaani. Hän aloitti käsikirjoituksen kesällä 1920, mutta vuotta myöhemmin hylkäsi suurimman osan tekstistä. Se perustui Grace Brownin pahamaineiseen murhaan vuonna 1906 ja hänen rakastajansa oikeudenkäyntiin. Vuonna 1923 Dreiser palasi projektiin, ja tulevan vaimonsa Helenin ja kahden toimittaja-sihteerin Louise Campbellin ja Sally Kusellin avulla hän viimeisteli massiivisen romaanin vuonna 1925. Kirja tuli julkisuuteen Yhdysvalloissa. 1. tammikuuta 2021.

Theodore Dreiser parafrasoi monia näistä kirjeistä romaanissaan Amerikan tragedia lainaten viimeistä kirjettä melkein sanatarkasti. Jennifer Donnelly käytti monia kirjaimia romaanissaan A Northern Light (höh eikös se ollut Gathering light?).

Cullowhee sijaitsee noin 50 mailia länteen Ashevillestä ja sijaitsee lähellä Great Smoky Mountainsin kansallispuistoa, Appalachian Trailia, Blue Ridge Parkwayta ja useita kansallisia metsiä, jotka muodostavat eräitä Itä-Yhdysvaltojen suurimmista erämaa-alueista. Dreiserin American Tragedy sattui kai vähän pohjoisempana.
