Main Street Sinclair Lewis

The lonely predicament of Carol Kennicott, caught between her desires for social reform and individual happiness, reflects the position in which America's turn-of-the-century, "emancipated woman" found herself. Carol's dilemma is intensified by the fact that she lives in the small, self-satisfied, Midwestern town of Gopher Prairie. An allegory of ex-ile and return, Main Street attacks the drab complacency and ingrown mores of those who resist change, who are under the illusion that they have chosen their tradition. Carol's os-tracism, however, results more from her own guilt at "crusading" than from her rejection by those whom she would have changed. Max-well Geismar lauded this work as "a remark-able diary of the middle-class mind in America." Its author was hailed by John Gals-worthy for having written "a most searching and excellent piece of work; a feather in the cap of literature."
