Description
“Jenny Gerhardt” is the second novel by Theodore Dreiser, a well-known representative of American literature, published eleven years after “Sister Carrie.” The first book met with a negative reaction from Puritan audiences and critics who accused him of immorality. However, “Jenny Gerhardt” was received with contemptuous silence, because its realistic depiction of the life of a poor and straightforward girl was too sharp a contrast for supporters of the “American dream.” Over time, recognition came both to the novel and to Dreiser himself: he was awarded the Honorary Gold Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters for outstanding achievements, and—so it is said—his candidacy was considered by the Nobel Literature Committee.
