"In restoring Dreiser's masterpiece, the editors of the Pennsylvania Edition have given us more than a literary curiosity; like art historians cleaning a da Vinci fresco, they have uncovered the original glowing with an ancient newness."--Richard Lingeman, The Nation "No work of such historical repute...has ever been republished with such major changes. . . . The 'new' novel . . . will probably become the accepted standard."--Herbert Mitgang, New York Times "The 'restored' Sister Carrie . . . is in many ways a different book, fuller, less cruel, more recognizably Dreiser's own work."--Alfred Kazin, New York Review of Books
