Lewis, Sinclair The first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature (Harry) Sinclair Lewis was born in Sauk Center, Minnesota, on February 7, 1885, and educated at Yale University. From 1907 to 1916 he was a newspaper reporter and a literary editor. Lewis's early novels, Our Mr. Wrenn (1914), The Trail of the Hawk (1915), and Free Air (1919), were relatively undistinguished, as were some of his later ones. His first, and most important work, was Main Street, published in 1920. Main Street satirized the stupidities of small town life. The themes of the monotony, emotional frustration and lack of spiritual and intellectual values in American middle-class life would run through all of his later works. In the novels that followed Main Street he showed a keen ear for conversational crudites, a sound sense of the technical problems of making a living in the United States, a fine eye for the details of rooms and buildings that are found in America. His novel Babbitt (1922) put a new word into the English language, a word to describe the typical go-getting salesman.Arrowsmith (1925) displayed the lack of scientific idealism somethimes found in the medical profession. Elmer Gantry (1927) lampooned an unscrupulous clergyman, and was based upon facts provided by the Rev. L.M. Birkhead. In Dodsworth (1929) Lewis depicted the egotistic, pretentious, married woman sometimes found in American upper-middle-class circles.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History LEWIS, SINCLAIR , novelist, satirist of middle-class values. Born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, the son of a stern hardworking doctor, Lewis matured slowly, writing a number of minor novels and working as a publicist and editor. In 1920 he found his voice with Main Street, a devastating portrait of the American small town, its dullness, mindless prejudices, and lonely stultified women. He followed this book with Babbitt (1922), an equally vigorous assault on a typical small-town businessman and his narrow, contradictory values. Lewis was more than a critic of American culture, however. In his next novel, Arrowsmith (1925), which he wrote in collaboration with the bacteriologist Paul de Kruif, he revealed his admiration for the heroic side of the American dream. Martin Arrowsmith is a brilliant medical researcher who struggles against the temptations of irresponsible women, unethical opportunists in the medical profession, and his own human impulses, which threaten his professional integrity. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize, but Lewis created a literary sensation by rejecting it. In 1920 the Pulitzer judges had awarded the prize to Main Street

Main Street Modern Library Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century (68) Author Info: Sinclair Lewis This is America - a town of a few thousand, in a region of wheat and corn and dairies and little groves. The town is, in our tale, called Gopher Prairie, Minnesota. But its Main Street is the continuation of Main Streets everywhere. The story would be the same in Ohio or Montana, in Kansas or Kentucky or Illinois, and not very differently would it be told Up York State or in the Carolina Hills. -Author's Preface Instead of flatly condemning small town America, Lewis seems to have had a more limited goal in mind. When Carol is planning to return, a leader of the suffragettes tells her that she need not heroically assault Gopher Prairie and the attitudes she finds there: There's one attack you can make on it, perhaps the only kind that accomplishes much anywhere: you can keep on looking at one thing after another in your home and church and bank, and ask why

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.
