Description
Summary:The article is devoted to the image of the author in Theodor Dreiser’s essay «Life, Art and America». The study of writer’s journalistic work helps to determine Dreiser’s opinion on political, historical, aesthetic and other aspects of his life. That is why special attention in the article is paid to the way how the author’s self is revealed at the compositional and problem-thematic levels which is especially important when considering the problem of the art’s fate in the US at the turn of 19-20th centuries. Such approach to the author’s image and publicist works allows finding new parallels and in the future appeal to other works of the writer.
