Literary significance and criticism
Chains was Dreiser's second collection of short stories.[1] It sold 12,000 copies in the first year, which has been deemed to have been a moderate success.[1]
Carl Van Doren described the stories as 'powerful'.[1]
gollark: Idea: somehow bolt all of IPFS onto this browser thing too?

gollark: Oh, you mean "have people externally label a page", not "have the pages have pointers to an external service".
gollark: There is empirical evidence of this in that we actually have the the various `aria-` attributes now, and basically nothing uses them, although that might just be because we have plenty of semantic elements anyway.
