About the Author
Arthur Henry (1867-1934), now a footnote to Dreiser studies, was at the time the better known of the two writers. He was not only Dreiser's frequent companion, but the man whose friendly wager challenged Dreiser to write his break-through novel 'Sister Carrie'. Furthermore, Henry was the man who edited Dreiser's sprawling realism to make it publishable. A journalist, novelist, and playwright, Henry's varied career brought him together with many famous writers and social reformers.
