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.

He was also awarded the Pulitzer Prize for 'Arrowsmith', but declined it because he believed that the Pulitzer was meant for books that celebrated American wholesomeness and his novels, which were quite critical, should not be awarded the prize.

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

In his best work Sinclair Lewis wrote with infectious exuberance, and his visual detail and sensitive dialogue provide a striking, though superficial, verisimilitude. He lacked the insight into social complexities characteristic of the naturalistic authors of the next generation, but Lewis's satire of the smugness, hypocrisy, and puritanism of American small-town life served as a needed contrast to the sentimental literary traditions that had enshrined so much of provincial America. The importance of this achievement, however, should not obscure Lewis's artistic failings: a commonplace world view, little literary imagination, and a style that often failed to rise above journalism.
