Inspiration... Sinclair Lewis 1885-1951, 66 years The man who was probably the greatest satirist of his era and who gave us Elmer Gantry (1927), Main Street (1920) and Babbitt (1922) died alone in Rome, on January 10, 1951 at the age of 66. A red-head with a quick temper, he was angry most of his life. His Arrowsmith(1925) won him a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction but he refused to accept it. He did accept the Nobel Prize for Literature for his Dodsworth (1929), the first American to win one, but "Red" Lewis deliver a scalding speech at the Swedish Academy ceremonies attacking the "near-sighed American academicians" for not recognizing the importance of a new generation of American writers, like himself, who had broke with the traditional and genteel view of reality. He listed others whom he felt had been slighted, Hemingway, Sandburg, Faulkner, Cather, Dreiser and O'Neill. Sinclair Lewis was born in 1885, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, a flat, corn and wheat growing, midwestern town much like his Gopher Prairie in Main Street (1920). He was the third son of a country doctor whose father was a doctor, a country doctor much like the character Doc Vickerson in Arrowsmith (1925). In 1903, at 18 his father sent him back East to college, Yale, where his acquaintances, including Upton Sinclair (1878-1968, The Jungle, 1906, a graphic novel of the Chicago stockyards). Sinclair Lewis, sometimes called Harry and sometimes Hal, contributed regularly to the Yale Literary Magazine and took short story classes from professors, one of whom he said, "might have been harmful if he had only been brighter".

Over the next few years, he traveled throughout the country, working sporadically as a free-lance writer. He published his first novel in 1914, and achieved some early popular success with stories written for magazines like The Saturday Evening Post . He established his literary reputation in the 1920s with a series of satirical novels about contemporary American mores, including Main Street Babbitt Arrowsmith Elmer Gantry (1927) and Dodsworth (1929). In these novels, Lewis savagely mocked the provincialism, conformism and hypocrisy he saw at the heart of middle American culture. His central characters strive to escape their emotionally and intellectually repressive environments, with varying degrees of success. In 1926, he turned down the Pulitzer Prize awarded him for Arrowsmith . In 1930, however, he accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature, bestowed "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters."

FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) Index Harry Sinclair Lewis was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and graduated from Yale University. He took time off from school to work at a socialist community, Helicon Home Colony, financed by muckraking novelist Upton Sinclair. Lewis's Main Street (1920) satirized monotonous, hypocritical small-town life in Gopher Prairie, Minnesota. His incisive presentation of American life and his criticism of American materialism, narrowness, and hypocrisy brought him national and international recognition. In 1926, he was offered and declined a Pulitzer Prize for Arrowsmith (1925), a novel tracing a doctor's efforts to maintain his medical ethics amid greed and corruption. In 1930, he became the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Lewis's other major novels include Babbitt (1922). George Babbitt is an ordinary businessman living and working in Zenith, an ordinary American town. Babbitt is moral and enterprising, and a believer in business as the new scientific approach to modern life. Becoming restless, he seeks fulfillment but is disillusioned by an affair with a bohemian woman, returns to his wife, and accepts his lot. The novel added a new word to the American language "babbittry," meaning narrow-minded, complacent, bourgeois ways.

8. Sinclair Lewis - Autobiography Sinclair Lewis (18851951) continued to be a prolific writer, but none of his laterwritings equalled the success or stature of his chiefworks of the twenties. http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1930/lewis-autobio.html

To recount my life for the Nobel Foundation, I would like to present it as possessing some romantic quality, some unique character, like Kipling 's early adventures in India, or Bernard Shaw I was born in a prairie village in that most Scandinavian part of America, Minnesota, the son of a country doctor, in 1885. Until I went East to Yale University I attended the ordinary public school, along with many Madsens, Olesons, Nelsons, Hedins, Larsons. Doubtless it was because of this that I made the hero of my second book, The Trail of the Hawk , a Norwegian, and Gustaf Sondelius, of Arrowsmith , a Swede - and to me, Dr. Sondelius is the favorite among all my characters. Of Carl Ericson of The Trail of the Hawk , I wrote -back in 1914, when I was working all day as editor for the George H. Doran Publishing Company, and all evening trying to write novels - as follows: My university days at Yale were undistinguished save for contributions to the Yale Literary Magazine. It may be interesting to say that these contributions were most of them reeking with a banal romanticism; that an author who was later to try to present ordinary pavements trod by real boots should through university days have written nearly always of Guinevere and Lancelot - of weary bitterns among sad Irish reeds - of story-book castles with troubadours vastly indulging in wine, a commodity of which the author was singularly ignorant. What the moral is, I do not know. Whether imaginary castles at nineteen lead always to the sidewalks of Main Street at thirty-five, and whether the process might be reversed, and whether either of them is desirable, I leave to psychologists.

16. Sinclair Lewis Translate this page Home_Page Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951), Novelista estadounidense muy imitado porescritores posteriores, tanto en su estilo naturalista como en su temática. http://www.epdlp.com/lewis.html

Sinclair Lewis N ovelista estadounidense muy imitado por escritores posteriores, tanto en su estilo naturalista como en su temática. Lewis cambió la tradicional visión romántica y complaciente de la vida estadounidense por otra mucho más realista, e incluso amarga. Nació en Sauk Center (Minnesota), el 7 de febrero de 1885 y estudió en la Universidad de Yale. De 1907 a 1916 trabajó como reportero y editor literario. En Calle mayor (1920), Lewis desarrolla por primera vez un tema que se convertirá en leitmotif de sus principales obras: la monotonía, la frustración emocional y la falta de valores espirituales e intelectuales de la clase media estadounidense. Su novela Babbitt (1922) ofrece un retrato despiadado del arquetipo del hombre de negocios de una ciudad pequeña que acepta ciegamente los valores sociales materialistas y éticos de su entorno. La palabra 'Babbitt', que designa a este tipo de persona, ha pasado a formar parte de la lengua común. En El doctor Arrowsmith (1925), expone la falta de idealismo científico que en ocasiones se observa entre los médicos; Elmer Gantry (1927) retrata la figura de un falso e hipócrita líder religioso infiltrado en la iglesia Protestante. Otras de sus novelas, como

Babbitt, a middle-aged real estate agent Myra, his wife Ted, their teenage son Paul Reisling, George's buddy from college Zilla, Paul's nagging wife Tanis Judique, George's mistress Seneca Doane, a radical lawyer and George's former college friend Story Overveiw As another day began in Zenith, sleeping George Babbitt fought to ignore the morning sounds - the milk truck, the furnace-man, a dog barking - so that he could cling to the dream he was having. He had the same dream often. It involved a "fairy child" who discerned"gallant youth" where "others saw but George Babbitt." But now the day beckoned. George pulled himself from bed, bathed, shaved, dressed, and then trudged downstairs to eat. As usual, Babbitt was a grumpy breakfast partner; a foul mood was expected of a respectable businessman. He grumbled at his nearly adult children, Verona and Ted, and argued with Myra, his wife. No one in the house appreciated all he did for them. Babbitt gulped down his food, "laid unmoving lips against [Myra's] unblushing cheek," and left for work. Driving toward his office in down town Zenith, he admired the "bigness" of the city. In fact, "Babbitt respected bigness in anything: in mountains, jewels, muscles, wealth, or words... " At the Reeves Building where the Babbitt-Thompson
