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

Thursday October 30, 1997 Edition Books Early Fiction of Sinclair Lewis Still Resonates Today Linda Laird Giedl It's Nobel laureate season again, and next week Southern Illinois University Press will release an anthology of short stories by America's first Nobel Prize-winner in Literature, Sinclair Lewis. In "If I Were Boss: The Early Business Stories of Sinclair Lewis," editor Anthony Di Renzo culled 15 stories of Lewis's more than 60 short stories not republished since their first appearance from 1915 to 1921 in magazines of the day - The Saturday Evening Post, Metropolitan, and Harper's among them. Far from being quaint little relics of a bygone era, Lewis's early stories speak directly to today. They reflect a clever humor and a shrewd satiric style, and range from wistful and poignant in "Bronze Bars," to wickedly cutting in four Lancelot Todd stories. Secular parables, actually, these stories speak our language - they talk like us!

Help Site Map Visit related sites from: Family Education Network Encyclopedia Lewis, Sinclair Lewis, Sinclair, , American novelist, b. Sauk Centre, Minn., grad. Yale Univ., 1908. Probably the greatest satirist of his era, Lewis wrote novels that present a devastating picture of middle-class American life in the 1920s. Although he ridiculed the values, the life-styles, and even the speech of his characters, there is affection behind the irony. Lewis began his career as a journalist, editor, and hack writer. With the publication of Main Street (1920), a merciless satire on life in a Midwestern small town, Lewis immediately became an important literary figure. His next novel, Babbitt (1922), considered by many critics to be his greatest work, is a portrait of an average American businessman, a Republican and a Rotarian, whose individuality has been erased by conformist values.

Sinclair Lewis novelist playwright Born Harry Sinclair Lewis on February 7 in Sauk Centre, Minnesota , he began reading books at a young age and kept a diary. A dreamer, at age 13 he unsuccessfully ran away from home, wanting to become a drummer boy in the Spanish-American War . At first, he produced romantic poetry, then romantic stories about knights and fair ladies. By 1921 he had six novels published . In , Sinclair Lewis became the first American author to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature . The award reflected his ground-breaking work in the on books such as Main Street Babbitt , and Arrowsmith .

Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History William P. Tishler, Producer Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Lewis, Sinclair Writer (1885-1951) Born in Sauk Center, Minnesota, Lewis graduated from Yale University in 1908. 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."

Sadow Material Morris Sadow was a longtime admirer of Sinclair Lewis. He introduced himself to Lewis with a letter pointing out errors in Harvey Taylor’s bibliography of Lewis’s writings, which was published in 1933 as part of Carl Van Doren’s Sinclair Lewis, a Biographical Sketch. This initial letter to Lewis is not present in this collection, although its content can be deduced from Lewis’s reply. The two corresponded thereafter, although they apparently met only once. Sadow was also able to supply Lewis with a number of critical and biographical items from his collection of “Lewisiana” (listed below), which Lewis later returned. At some point, Sadow painstakingly transcribed Lewis’s early writings, and compiled scrapbooks relating to Lewis’s life and career; these items are included in our listing of Miscellaneous material. Sinclair Lewis / Morris Sadow Correspondence May 19, 1933 from Lewis to Sadow Lewis thanks him for his corrections of Taylor’s bibliography: "Yours is quite an extraordinary letter ... If there ever should be a new edition of the Van Doren-Taylor book, doubtless the publishers will want to have most or all of your corrections incorporated in it. I am sending your letter, not to Taylor, as I would rather he did not complete the work, but direct to Doubleday-Doran, for the attention of Mr. Harry Maule, the editor, who will have charge of these changes, if they can ever be made ..." May 25, 1933 from Harry Maule at Doubleday to Sadow
