Best Answer

he was a writer of naturalism...he focused on things that no one during his time really focused on

Dreiser followed some techniques of Zolaesque Naturalism, but there is a great difference between the two writers. He is best in his realistic portrayal of how life grinds a poor boy below the average intellectually and spiritually into fragments. He showed the sordid nature of materialistic pursuit in Sister Carrie, An American Tragedy and Jennie Gerhardt. But in the trilogy The Financier, The Titan and The Bulwark he transcended the naturalistic techniques. The theme of Renunciation of the Bhagavad Gita inspired his characters in The Titanand The Bulwark.
