The effect of Darwinist idea of "survival of the fittest" was shattering. It is not surprising to find in Dreiser's fiction a world of jungle, where “kill or to be killed” was the law.Dreiser's Writing Features:✓As a naturalist writer, Dreiser stressed determinism in his novels which deals with everyday life, often with its sordid side.✓As a naturalist, he developed the capacity for photographic and relentless (无情的) observation, thereby truthfully reflecting the society and people of his time.✓His narrative method is natural and free from artifice.Modern Poetry3、Robert Frost罗伯特·弗罗斯特1874-196320世纪最受欢迎的美国诗人, 美国文学中的桂冠诗人田园诗；自然诗☐He used symbols from everyday country life to express his deep ideas.

德莱塞——精选推荐
Delaisai德莱塞，T.Theodore Dreiser (1871～1945)美国小说家。
1871年8月27日生于印第安纳州的特雷霍特镇。
父亲原是德国的纺织工人，于1846年逃避兵役到了美国，开过纺织工场。
母亲是摩拉维亚的农民的女儿。
他们有子女11人。
1870年工场失火焚毁，一家生活贫困。
《珍妮姑娘》中孩子们检煤渣，珍妮为了搭救兄弟出狱而牺牲色相，这样的描绘是以作者的姐姐和哥哥的事迹作为原型的。
他有一个姐姐甚至被迫为娼。
德莱塞12岁起充当呢绒绸缎店的店员和报童；17岁时去芝加哥谋生，曾在一家小饭馆里洗碟子，在铁器店做伙计。
1888年18岁时,由小时候的一个女教师资助,进入印第安纳大学肄业，有机会接触到达尔文、赫胥黎和斯宾塞的著作。
一年后又回到芝加哥，充当房地产公司的推销员和洗衣店的送货员。
从23岁开始，先后在芝加哥的《环球报》、圣路易斯的《环球—民主报》和《共和报》任记者，在纽约《每月》杂志任主编。
1899年开始写作《嘉莉妹妹》，第二年完成并出版。
这时长篇小说《章鱼》的作者弗兰克·诺里斯为出版公司审阅《嘉莉妹妹》，大为赏识，认为发现了他“从未见过的一部最好的书”。
可是公司老板认为此书有伤风化，只印了1,000册,除极少数赠阅之外，全部封存在仓库里。
德莱塞仅得稿费100元,生活无着，几乎自杀。
《嘉莉妹妹》通过农村姑娘嘉莉到芝加哥谋生而成为名演员的故事，揭露了资本主义社会繁荣的表面底下的失业、贫困和饥饿，对美国贫富对立的社会作了深刻的描写。
《嘉莉妹妹》也是用巴尔扎克式的现实主义写成的，为美国文学开创了一个新的天地。
它虽在美国被禁，后来却在英国出版。
1907年终于在美国再次出版。
《嘉莉妹妹》被禁后，德莱塞被迫停笔10年。
这10年中他仍任编辑工作。
1904年担任斯特里特和史密斯出版公司小说部编辑,1905年任《史密斯杂志》主编,1906年任《百老汇杂志》主编。
1909年他着手写作长篇小说《珍妮姑娘》，1911年出版。

关于美国文学名著读后感8篇
关于美国文学名著读后感8篇关于美国文学名著读后感8篇篇一：《美国悲剧》读后感《美国悲剧》一书是西奥多·德莱赛（TheodoreDreiser）所写的一部长篇小说。
描写的是克莱德·格里菲斯受社会上邪恶风气影响，逐渐蜕变，堕落为凶杀犯，最后自我毁灭的全过程。
小说共分三卷：第一卷描写克莱德这个天真幼稚的青年人怎样受到外部世界的腐蚀与毒害，逐渐演变成一个玩世不恭、怙恶不悛的人，一直到汽车碾死一个女孩，逃离堪萨斯城为止，这是小说的准备阶段。
第二卷描写克莱德与富商伯父萨缪尔·格里菲斯邂逅后，以穷亲戚的关系来到莱克格斯厂内充当工头的助手，随后陷入与穷女工罗伯达，阔小姐桑德拉的三角恋情，为了高攀桑德拉，克莱德甘愿违背自幼接受的基本道德准则，牺牲罗伯达，于是，他就通过翻船阴谋干掉了罗伯达。
事后，克莱德却落荒出逃，逍遥法外。
第三卷主要描写案发后，克莱德如何被捕入狱，受审和定罪，期间还穿插着美国两党和司法机构利用克莱德一案大搞政治投机的丑闻。
最后经过终审判决，克莱德被送上了电椅。
小说结尾处，还描写牧师出场，为临终之前克莱德寻求灵魂拯救的故事。
《美国的悲剧》是我所看过的一部比较感人的作品，社会的不良风气对一个人的影响如此之大，可以使一个人蜕变如此也是必然的。
在一个物欲世界中要想保持自我是很难得，但我相信还是有这样的一批人，他们在世俗的世界中保留着自己的一份纯真和执着，我想他们是最清醒的。
篇二：读《老人与海》有感“一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限！”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。
《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。
古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。
这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。
嘉莉妹妹
《嘉莉妹妹》描写了农 村姑娘嘉莉来到大城市芝 加哥寻找幸福，为摆脱贫 困，出卖自己的贞操，先 后与推销员和酒店经理同 居，后又凭美貌与歌喉成 为演员的故事。作家以嘉 莉为代表深刻揭露了美国 资本主义制度对贫苦人民 压榨的残酷性和资产阶级 生活方式对小资产阶级分 子的腐蚀性。
嘉莉原本只是一个渴望见 世面，心地非常单纯的姑娘。 在开往芝加哥的火车上，在 她的心中还幻想着以后可以 回到故乡。可是残酷的现实 开始让她学会了虚伪与做作。 但是我们不能够说嘉莉无耻， 在被杜洛埃骗上床之后，嘉 莉还渴望杜洛埃能够与她结 婚。嘉莉无疑是向往更高的 生活层次，所以一步步的抓 住机会，努力向上爬。最终 嘉莉的成功，可以视为原则 不得不向社会现实妥协的表 现。

WRITING STYLE
ARTISTIC FEATURES
Without good construction Deficient characterization Lack in imagination（realism） Simple words Techniques in painting (word-picture, sharp contrast, truth in color, movement in outline) Broad social background Rich plot Detailed psychological description specific and personal lanism: man as merely an animal driven by greed and sexual desire in a struggle for existence in which only the “fittest” survive Pessimistic view of human helplessness in the face of instinct and social forces. Determinism: No one is ethically free. Everything is determined by a complex of internal chemisms and by the forces of social pressure.
Consumerism：Pursuing the decent consumption, being aspired to
immoderate enjoyment and relaxation, and take it as the purpose of life and the values of life.

As a novelist Dreiser made his debut with Sister Carrie, a powerful account of a young working girl‘s rise to success and her slow decline. “She was eighteen years of age, bright, timid and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth. Whatever touch of regret at parting characterized her thoughts it was certainly not for advantages now being given up. A gush of tears at her mother’s farewell kiss, a touch in the throat when the cars clacked by the flour mill where her father worked by the day, a pathetic sigh as the familiar green environs of the village passed in review, and the threads which bound her so lightly to girlhood and home were irretrievath
the help of his former teacher, he was able to spend the year 1889-1890 at Indiana University. Dreiser left after only a year. He was, however, a voracious贪婪 的 reader, and the impact of such writers as Hawthorne, Poe, Balzac, Herbert Spencer, and Freud influenced his thought and his reaction against organized religion.
The
film was a critical and commercial success, winning six Academy Awards. In 1991, A Place in the Sun was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Introduction of the writer
Life Works
Other
information
American
author, outstanding representative of naturalism, whose novels depict real-life subjects in a harsh light. Dreiser‘s novels were held to be amoral, and he battled throughout his career against censorship and popular taste. This started with SISTER CARRIE (1900). It was not until 1981 that the work was published in its original form. Dreiser's principal concern was with the conflict between human needs and the demands of society for material success.
Dreiser‘s semi-autobiographical半自传的 novel THE ’GENIUS‘ (1915)《天才》 was censured by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. The book remained off the market until Live right reissued it five years later. Dreiser’s commercially most successful novel was AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY (1925)《美国悲 剧》, which was adapted for screen for the first time in 1931, directed by Josef von Sternberg.
Sister
Carrie was reissued in 1907 and it became one of the most famous novels in literary history. Among its admirers was H.L. Mencken, an aspiring journalist, whom Dreiser had hired as a ghost-writer in his paper. William Wyler‘s film version, starring Laurence Olivier and Jennifer Jones, was made at the height of the Cold War and McCarthy era (麦卡锡时代). Paramount executives delayed the releasing of the film - they thought the picture was not good for America and it was a flo.
Dreiser
had objected strongly to the version because it portrayed his youthful killer as a sex-starved idle loafer (无业游 民). The second time was in 1951 under the title A Place in the Sun, starring Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor. During the filming the stars became attached to one another, which is reflected in the tenderness of their performance.
Indiana University
印第安纳大学创建于1820年，是美国阿巴拉
挈亚山脉西部最古老的大学之一，在全国共 有八个分校，分别是：Bloomington, Fort Wayne, Gary , Indianapolis, Kokomo, New Albany, Richmond和South Bend .这 八个分校共有教师4000多人，学生93000人， 其中研究生占19000人。作为一所享有盛誉 的明星级大学，印第安纳大学得到了美国社 会各界的普遍认可。
A Place in the Sun
It is a 1951 American drama film based on the novel An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser and the play, also titled An American Tragedy, which was adapted by Patrick Kearney from the novel. It tells the story of a working-class young man who is entangled with two women; one who works in his wealthy uncle's factory and the other a beautiful socialite. The film was directed by George Stevens from a screenplay by Harry Brown and Michael Wilson, and stars Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters, Anne Revere, and Raymond Burr.
Montgomery Clift
Montgomery Clift was Raised in an unconvential family, giving him nearly unlimited access to exceptional opportunities, Montgomery Clift reached a pinnacle of dramatic achievement. Due to unknown reasons, or perhaps due to a chronic back injury he sustained in a car accident, Clift became involved in heavy narcotic usage such that his credibility as an insurable actor was compromised.
Theodore
Dreiser was born in Sullivan, Indiana, the ninth of ten children. His parents were poor. In the 1860s his father, a devout Catholic German immigrant, had attempted to establish his own woolen mill, but after it was destroyed in a fire, the family lived in poverty. Dreiser‘s schooling was erratic, as the family moved from town to town. He left home when he was 16 and worked at whatever jobs he could find.
