The First Page of Sister Carrie from Manuscript to the Pennsylvania Edition

Main content

As both the manuscript and typescript clearly indicate, the chapter titles that were used in both the 1900 and 1901 editions of Sister Carrie were added later. Apparently they were inserted by Dreiser and by Arthur Henry (both hands appear in the typescript) sometime after the contract with Doubleday, Page & Co. had been signed and after Dreiser had received Frank Doubleday's demand for changes in the typescript. The 1901 Heinemann edition eliminated--in its entirety--the second paragraph as found in the manuscript, the typescript, and the 1900 Doubleday edition.
