Which novelist lived longer, Booth Tarkington or Theodore Dreiser?
Theodore Dreiser 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). In 1930 he was nominated to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Frank Dalby Davison Frank Dalby Davison (23 June 1893 - 24 May 1970), also known as F.D. Davison and Freddie Davison, was an Australian novelist and short story writer. Whilst several of his works demonstrated his progressive political philosophy, he is best known as "a writer of animal stories and a sensitive interpreter of Australian bush life in the tradition of Henry Lawson, Joseph Furphy and Vance Palmer." His most popular works were two novels, "Man-shy" and "Dusty", and his short stories.
