This edition of Dreiser’s work consists of thirty-four uncollected magazine articles published between 1897 and 1902. In this period, before writing Sister Carrie, Dreiser contributed 111 freelance articles to various popular magazines, such as Success, Truth, Metropolitan, Cosmopolitan, Ainslee’s, Demorest’s, Munsey’s, Puritan, New Voice, Great Round World, Harper’s Weekly, and New York Times Illustrated Magazine. A great majority of these magazine articles have been collected in two previous editions, including Selected Magazine Articles of Theodore Dreiser: Life and Art in the American 1890s, published by Fairleigh Dickinson University Press.
