Data Update: Theodore Dreiser, 1871–1945 (American novelist, journalist)

* Theodore Dreiser's autobiography of his youth contains his time of birth, raising the Rodden Rating of his data from "C" to "A."

Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best known novels include Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925).
