The International Theodore Dreiser Society was formed by Miriam Gogol and Frederic E. Rusch at the second annual American Literature Association Conference in Washington, D.C., on 25 May 1991. A growing organization of scholars, teachers, and Dreiser enthusiasts, the Society promotes interest in the life and works of Theodore Dreiser and those associated with him. Annual membership in the society includes two issues of the society's journal, Studies in American Naturalism.
