This critical analysis of Theodore Dreiser's early career challenges the conventional view of Dreiser as a novelist who depicted a world in which human creatures are hopelessly entangled in a meaningless and ferocious struggle for existence. Instead, it shows that he learned to be a sensitive but detached observer who could accept life as it is and appreciate its fact and drama.

This collection of eleven essays concerns the movement of modernity in East-West literary criicism. Most of the contributions address particular cross-cultural relationships such as W.B.

The Western writers discussed range from Americans, including Emerson, Thoreau, Faulkner, Wright, and Snyder, to Europeans, such as Marcel Proust. The Eastern writers include Basho, Tanizaki, Lao Tzu, Wan Wei, Tagore, and Yone Noguchi.
