Jennie Gerhardt

3.95 of 5 stars 3.95 · rating details · 758 ratings · 41 reviews

Jennie Gerhardt was Theodore Dreiser's second novel and his first true commercial success. Today it is generally regarded as one of his three best novels, along with Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy. But the text of Jennie Gerhardt heretofore known to readers is quite different from the text as Dreiser originally wrote it. In the tradition of the University of Pennsyl...more

To wit: The beginning of “Jennie Gerhardt” by Theodore Dresier had me cackling like a 14-year-old boy.

The Gerhardt’s are in the muck. Pa Gerhardt has been sick and unable to work. There are a handful of kids that need shoes and bacon. Mrs. Gerhardt and her eldest daughter, the 18-year-old Jennie who is coming into her peak fresh-faced years, take a job cleaning a fancy hotel. This puts them in the path of an older senator, who lives at the hotel and who takes a shine to young Jennie and eventually begins buying her gifts, sneaking money and favors to the family and otherwise trying to woo the young girl.

Old man Gerhardt gets a little crazy when he hears through the grapevine that his daughter is taking nighttime strolls with a man his age, and bans their friendship. But when her older brother gets thrown in jail for stealing coal, and no one has the money to get him out, Jennie sneaks out to ask a favor of the senator -- then repays him in sweet, sweet, love.

She gets pregnant; He makes her a world of promises that he just can’t keep, what with the limitations of modern medicine. So young Jennie is in a pinch. Soiled by the evidence of her sexual activity. Another mouth to feed. The family uproots itself for a new life in a new town with a whole new set of wealthy men, including one wild stallion who doesn’t like the idea of domesticity, but he does like the idea of settling into something similar with Jennie.

Lester Kane comes from big money and big obligations and he and Jennie keep up a super secret affair for years, living together-ish in Chicago. But when his sister stumbles upon the unholy union, she freaks and this has all sorts of monetary ramifications for Lester who must decide between a modest life with Jennie and a rich life without her.

So much drama and heartbreak. Theodore Dressier’s novel is a wicked one, a little repetitious and slow-moving in parts, but ultimately about as gooey as hiding in the closet with a flashlight and reading “Wifey.” It’s a total pleasure cruise, made better by the fact that it’s a free download thanks to Project Gutenberg.

I've read Sister Carrie and books by Frank Norris and William Dean Howells, books and authors of the Realism/Naturalism schools. In other words, authors who show you that life is crap, people are crap and all you can expect is crap. Not that the books are crap - they can be very good.

So in this uncharitable (but realistic!) frame of mind I was very surprised by the curve ball Dreiser throws in "Jennie Gerhardt". There is not one ogre in the book nor is it a tale of a spiraling down into degradation (Sister Carrie, Vandover and the Brute). In reality it is a love story where capitalism takes the role of the Montagues and Capulets keeping the star-cross'd lovers apart.

Dreiser is the opposite of Henry James. If ever they were in the same room together I imagine a conversation where James is constantly demurring, obliquely not-saying what he's trying to say while Dreiser is constantly interrupting "What? What? Spit it out man!" Dreiser is continually burrowing in to the characters and situations, analyzing and describing to give us complete picture of the "way things are". Jamesian innuendo it is not.

The one place where he couldn't be explicit is due to the sexual mores of literature at the time - i.e. he couldn't explicitly say that Jennie and her two sugar-daddies are doing it - he had to drop the hint very strongly. He had to make sure we got the point because the novel would be meaningless without it. In a crude Marxian analysis, Jennie's incredible hotness was her rare material and her labor (so to speak) - however Men had the means of production. Jennie's class and status as mistress made her an outcast, regardless of her beauty.

The character of Lester Kane, Jennie's love, is a latter-day Hamlet. He knows what the right thing to do is (marry Jennie), but he cannot do it because that would mean a loss of *something*. At first the loss was his independence, then it would be because he doesn't "love" her (but he did, he just didn't know it - a situation much mined by later Romance novelists I hear), and finally he would lose his inheritance if he stayed with Jennie. Here is where the class struggle struggles into the novel - Dreiser explicitly mentions a number of times in the text that these two were just victims of faceless systems and circumstances, that love ain't got nothin' to do with it.

In some ways the purest joys in reading the novel is in the in depth way Dreiser shows us how society was in those days, from the poorest immigrant to the richest capitalist. Every class had their social anxieties and protocols and to violate them was to be an outcast. In particular interest to me was the depiction of the Gerhardt family in their German Lutheran society - where the insular Lutheran flock is ruled by the minister. Luther may have got rid of the bishops and the pope - but he didn't get rid of male authority, not by a long shot!(less)

Fortunately, my fears were unfounded and once again, Dreiser delivered masterfully. He may be one whose complete works I’d like to read.

A poor young woman meets a rich senator while working at a hotel in Columbus, Ohio. A relationship develops and the senator is very generous to the woman and her near destitute family. Things don’t turn out so well, but she meets another wealthy man and things go a little better, but the difference in their backgrounds proves to be their undoing.

The book’s namesake, Jennie Gerhardt, is sweet, kind and beautiful and apparently quite alluring to wealthy men. She cares deeply for her family and wants to help them live more comfortably. While she never asks for help, it seems to come when it is most needed and she is always most grateful and never envious. This is no gold digger.

Senator Brander is Jennie’s first love and much older than she. He is very generous to the Gerhardt family and is shocked by their life of poverty. When Jennie becomes pregnant, he agrees to marriage, but becomes ill while away and succumbs to typhus.

The second love to Jennie is Lester Kane who is 36 when he meets the twentyish Jennie. He comes from a wealthy family of carriage manufacturers and is well-known for his bachelorhood. He becomes enamored of Jennie and pursues her relentlessly. When he too sees how the family lives, he is shocked and begins to help them right away. Since he travels a lot, he installs Jennie in a hotel he frequents and they begin a long affair, but he shies from marriage. He keeps Jennie secreted as long as possible knowing his family will never accept her, and when she is discovered, they do not. Possibly a well-intentioned man caught up in the distinctions of social class and family influences.

A former love of Lester’s, Letty Pace, reenters his life after running into him abroad. Now a wealthy widow, she has held a torch for Lester since their younger days. She sums up Jennie as a nice, but incompatible match for him and lets him know just how she feels. She gets to rekindle the flame, but never really captures the heart.

There is so much I’d want to discuss with Mr. Dreiser and wonder how he would feel about today’s ever-expanding division between the haves and the have-nots. Most importantly, I’d want to ask where he drew from for his fine and fluid writing. Indiana, Ohio or Illinois? I’d be there in a heartbeat.

My rating for Jennie Gerhardt is a 9 out of 10.(less)

Eleven years after Theodore Dreiser’s first novel, the ground-breaking Sister Carrie had failed to sell well because of its ‘morally dubious’ central character (see my review). When Jennie Gerhardt was published in 1911, this time the heroine was a noble, self-sacrificing soul, an innocent who stumbles into the sort of folly that respectable people who’ve never known the depredations of poverty deplored. She is naturally attractive to men, who don’t intend to treat her badly, but her social situ...more

I think Dreiser is at his best when he writes about the decisions that people make and subtly shows how their lives are affected by their decisions. This is also when Jennie Gerhardt is at its best.

I think Dreiser is at his worst when he begins, out of nowhere, pontificating and philosophizing about these decisions. This is also when Jennie Gerhardt is at its worst. Another aspect of the novel that bothered me was Jennie's relationship with her daughter, Vesta. I have to believe that Dreiser jus...more

One of the key elements of the naturalist movement in literature was pessimism. I would say that pessimism just about sums up this book. I can't think when I've been more depressed by a story. I wanted to reach out and slap almost every character in it. I had read both An American Tragedy and Sister Carrie and liked both of those Dreiser books. Maybe I am just worn out with Dreiser's continuing theme of naive pretty poor girls falling for rich men of the upper class who will never 'do right' by...more

I think I now know why this one has kind of been lost to time. I can't remember when a book has made me so angry as I was reading it. Nevertheless, I kept at it until I finished.
Because the title is "Jennie Gerhardt", you would think that the book is about Jennie Gerhardt, that she would be the most important person in it. But she doesn't seem to really exist without a man in her life. The book begins, literally, on the day in 1880 that she meets the first man who will, with Jennie's full cooperation, take advantage of and "ruin" her in the eyes of Victorian society. The book ends on the day she gets a last look at the coffin of the second man who, also with her full and steady cooperation has compromised her life and her future. What happens to Jennie after that? Who knows? Does it matter? She no longer has a man to serve, so of course she could not possibly be of any further interest to the reader.
As an 18-year-old, Jennie is seduced by a man 30 years her senior, who dies before he is able to marry her. Whether he would actually have married her, we'll never know. It would have been nice if he'd done that first, since he seemed to be so taken with this beautiful girl, who Dreiser is at pains to paint as a truly exceptional person. She goes ahead and has the child, and is able to live with her family, although they all move to another town to escape the scandal and shame. In this new town, Jennie takes work as a maid in a private home, where she comes in contact with Lester Kane, a wealthy buisness man about 15 years her senior. He is immediately smitten, and though Jennie protests weakly, he convinces her to go away with him. After a trip to New York, the two set up housekeeping without benefit of clergy. Eventually this arrangement is discovered by Lester's family and friends, and both Lester and Jennie are shunned. This is to be expected, right? It's the late Victorian era, after all. And Lester Kane is repeatedly described as being intelligent and unsentimental, and the type of man who looks things squarely in the eye, who calls a spade a spade. So why does he not believe his father will cut him out of his inheritance? Why is he so surprised when his friend won't invite him and his common-law "wife" to their home? And then Lester, who is supposed to be this clear-eyed businesss man, cannot make up his mind as to whether to stay with Jennie as is, or leave her, or marry her. He can't decide from one moment to the next whether he even loves her. He keeps worrying about doing the right thing by her, and yet for most of the book doesn't seem to realize that the "right thing" probably would have been to leave her alone in the first place. And Jennie, who Dreiser continually describes as this wonderful person, very loving and giving and selfless, just comes off as a really pretty doormat. She loves Lester, no matter how negligently he treats her, and she seems almost afraid of him at times, and totally in his thrall. He just lets them float along in this limbo relationship until he almost loses his fortune, then leaves her, than calls her to him when he's about to die and there's no one else to nurse him. And she comes, gladly. Oooohhh, these people! Maybe at the time this was published, it made more sense - I know I've had the benefit of years of suffragettes and feminists since this book was published. But really, what exactly was the point of this book? The only good thing is that Lester does support Jennie through a trust fund after he leaves her, and so she will not be impoverished even after his death. Anyway, I have written more about this book than some others I've liked much better. My advice, though - read "Sister Carrie" or an "American Tragedy" if you want to read Dreiser.(less)

His prose is not purple but very clear and direct, and he can paint any imaginable scene, and evoke tremendous passion, spirit, and pathos in the telling. He is very close to the Greek tragedians in that respect.

After you've read Sister Carrie, his first novel, it might seem impossible to think that Dreiser could top that great book. But Jennie Gerhardt does, in my opinion. The story follows Jennie from the time that she is a young woman, is drawn into an affair with a Senator that begets a child, and which will handicap her later in life, while searching for a husband, and continues on through the rest of her life as she is caught up in an epic love affair.

One of the great aspects of this novel is Dreiser's sympathetic portrayal of Jennie. She has a beautiful spirit. She seems unconscious to many of the self-involved and lopsided concerns that preoccupy most people. She loves purely and faithfully. She is a good mother and would do anything to help those she loves. One gets the sense as they read the book that the woman described in the story is a real person, she's painted so well and so vividly.

I so don't want to admit this because it sounds way too cheesy, but I actually cried towards the end of this novel--I cried!! The love story is so amazing and believable, and the strange differences between Jennie and the rich man who she loves, Lester, seems to encompass two significant and somewhat polar psychological types: the loving and faithful type and the cynical, ground down by experience type. Readers will understand and undoubtedly sympathize with Lester, Jennie's companion--he can't fully escape the trappings of his upper crust world or bring Jennie into it. The tragedy of the story is somber and not something easily digested. Life seems so short and we find so few people to really care about, and society is the intermediary that throws curve balls continually in our way. And then life ends, nothing!

The thought of approaching death always seems to bring out the truth of an individual's personality. If they are greedy and selfish, they will go grasping for some ultimate meaning that will salvage their existence, usually God plays a role here. Or the person has lived and loved and sees what an end is, as Jennie seems to. This simple honest and direct approach to life is admirable, and seems to make something of the love we feel, however transient, towards others. There might be no ultimate redemption, but people still possess an ability to wrestle with their own thoughts and feelings and to get them in order in the short time alloted to them, and to be as human as possible.

This novel digs deep into the lives of its central characters and shows you how true love appears in this world between two people. I have never believed so truthfully in the reality of an emotion I myself have only fitfully (and mostly skeptically) embraced. That's something! (less)

One of the more powerful novels I have ever read. Dreiser's characters are extremely well drawn--and that is the strongest aspect of the novel. Jennie and Lester, the main protagonists, are especially real, sympathetic, and deep. Many of the secondary characters are equally engaging, especially Jennie's crusty German father.

A magnificent meditation on the vagaries of fate and the inescapable limits upon human freedom, due to society and birth. Highly recommended.

Интересно и дорого то, что персонажи "второго плана", - такие, как отец Дженни, его личная драма, - не остаются в тени, набросанными кое-как, второпях. Книга, от которой щемит сердце.

Believe it or not I became interested in this book when I heard the title in the movie American Splendor, and I'm glad for that. It's a powerful look at class division and destruction of innocence, though I don't think the main character in fact loses hers. Jennie Gerhardt's anguish, loneliness and capacity to love even those who hurt her, will rend your heart into pieces.

By the time Dreiser's feet arrived on this road it was very well-trod. This genre should have been hung in the rafters after Tess of the d'Urbervilles.

About Theodore Dreiser

Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945) was an American novelist and journalist. He pioneered the naturalist school and is known for portraying characters whose value lies not in their moral code, but in their persistence against all obstacles, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency.
