Features: Jennie Gerhardt and Sister Carrie (both works by Dreiser) were both included in the "Top 100 Best English Novels of the 20th Century" selected by the Modern Library in the USA. Renowned critic James Huneker called Jennie Gerhardt a great novel, reminding him of Russia's greatest works, and praised it for powerfully portraying human nature. Dreiser was one of the most outstanding realist writers of the 20th century in the United States and a pioneer of naturalism in American literature. He was known as another realist master following Whitman and Mark Twain, and media outlets such as the Pioneer Times and Internal Affairs regarded him as America's Zola. American critics ranked him alongside Hemingway and Faulkner as one of the three giants of modern American fiction.
