Creating The Life of Paul Dresser
Author: Tim Dalgleish
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In November 1923, Max Ehrmann, the poet and author of the underground classic Desiderata, interviewed Theodore Dreiser, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. For two days they discussed the life of Paul Dresser (Dreiser's brother), the composer of On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away, one of the best-selling songs of the nineteenth century. When Dresser died, in 1906, aged forty-eight, his fame had faded and he was a penniless alcoholic. Ehrmann was determined to rehabilitate the image and memory of one of America's finest songwriters. Author and actor, Tim Dalgleish, explores the background to Ehrmann's quest, his relationship with Dreiser and the consequences of their meeting in Washington D.C. Included, in full, as 'end papers' in this volume, are the short biography The Life of Paul Dresser by Max Ehrmann and Theodore Dreiser's essay My Brother Paul, along with commentary and notes on Ehrmann's poems, A Prayer and Who Entereth Here, and other pieces of interest

Twelve Men
Author: Theodore Dreiser
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Character sketches
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
"In 1919, having recently accepted the publishing contract of a new publisher, Dreiser proposed to publish a "book of characters" that would collect twelve biographical sketches of individuals who were major influences on Dreiser, both as a man and as a writer. The resulting narratives combine the best attributes of the character sketch, the autobiography, and the short story into miniature masterpieces of prose. The men profiled in Twelve Men are a diverse and colorful group: from Dreiser's equally famous brother, the song-writer Paul Dreiser's ("My Brother Paul"), to the entirely obscure railroad foreman Michael Burke ("The Mighty Rourke"), on whose work crew Dreiser had labored in 1903. The twelve narratives are compelling portraits of the men portrayed, but they also reveal many insights into Dreiser's own life and work."--Goodreads website.
