Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse.\" \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eSister Carrie\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1900, Theodore Dreiser transformed the conventional \"fallen woman\" story into a genuinely innovative and powerful work of fiction. As he hurled his impressionable midwestern heroine into the throbbing, amoral world of the big city, he revealed, with brilliant insight, the deep and driving forces of American culture: the restless idealism, glamorous materialism, and basic spiritual innocence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSister Carrie\u003c\/i\u003e brought American literature into the twentieth century. This volume, which reprints the text Dreiser approved for publication during his lifetime and includes a special appendix discussing his earlier, unedited manuscript, is the original standard edition of one of the great masterpieces of literary realism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
