Title: Theodore Dreiser and the Modernists
Author/Creator: Kiyohiko Murayama
Publication Details: Studies in American Naturalism, Vol.11(2), pp.38-55
Annotation: Arguing against the widely accepted notion of the divide between prewar and postwar writers, Murayama explores Dreiser s influence on modernists, including Hemingway, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Compares Dreiser s The Genius (1915) with A Farewell to Arms, finding similar plot elements such as scenes with caesarian operations and characters philosophically grappling with the meaning of life.
