The Financier (1912) is the first volume in Dreiser’s Trilogy of Desire, which continued in The Titan (1914) and the posthumously published The Stoic (1947). Though based on the life of Chicago financier C. T. Yerkes, Dreiser’s novel is set in Philadelphia and follows the roller-coaster career of his unscrupulous character, Frank Algernon Cowperwood.
