Regarded as one of Dreiser's best novels, Jennie Gerhardt is here recaptured as it was originally written, restoring it to its complete, unexpurgated form.

"The best American novel I have ever read, with the lonesome but Himalayan exception of Huckleberry Finn." - H. L. Mencken

"For Dreiser, Jennie Gerhardt was a good career move. Now, with this Pennsylvania edition, we know that it is also a great novel." - New York Times
