Sinclair Lewis Sinclair Lewis (Foto von Man Ray) Geb. 7.2.1885 Sauk Center, Minnesota, gest. 10.1.1951 Rom Lewis, Sohn eines Arztes, studierte einige Zeit an der Yale University, fuhr in den Sommerferien auf Viehdampfern nach England und wurde 1907 Journalist. Er arbeitete in Upton Sinclairs sozialistischer "Helicon Home Colony" mit; jahrelang durchstreifte er im Auto die USA. 1926 lehnte er den Pulitzerpreis für Arrowsmith ab, 1930 erhielt er als erster Amerikaner den Nobelpreis. 1928-42 war er in zweiter Ehe mit der Journalistin Dorothy Thompson verheiratet. Immer wieder Alkoholprobleme. Seine letzten Lebensjahre verbrachte er in Italien (Florenz). Main Street (1920) machte Lewis mit einem Schlage berühmt. Gopher Prairie, ein Abbild seines Geburtsortes im mittleren Westen der USA, wurde rasch sprichwörtlich. Der eigentliche Held ist die Hauptstraße dieses amerikanischen Seldwyla, dessen provinzielle Enge sich stärker erweist als die Reformpläne der zugezogenen Arztfrau Carol Kennicott. Auf die Satire der Kleinstadt folge in Babbitt (1922) die des amerikanischen Spießers und Konformisten (Babbitt ist Immobilienmakler in der ebenfalls im mittleren Westen angesiedelten imaginären Stadt Zenith).

Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1930 The American Fear of Literature I wish, in this address, to consider certain trends, certain dangers, and certain high and exciting promises in present-day American literature. To discuss this with complete and unguarded frankness - and I should not insult you by being otherwise than completely honest, however indiscreet - it will be necessary for me to be a little impolite regarding certain institutions and persons of my own greatly beloved land. But I beg of you to believe that I am in no case gratifying a grudge. Fortune has dealt with me rather too well. I have known little struggle, not much poverty, many generosities. Now and then I have, for my books or myself, been somewhat warmly denounced - there was one good pastor in California who upon reading my Elmer Gantry No, I have for myself no conceivable complaint to make, and yet for American literature in general, and its standing in a country where industrialism and finance and science flourish and the only arts that are vital and respected are architecture and the film, I have a considerable complaint. I can illustrate by an incident which chances to concern the Swedish Academy and myself and which happened a few days ago, just before I took the ship at New York for Sweden. There is in America a learned and most amiable old gentleman who has been a pastor, a university professor, and a diplomat. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and no few universities have honored him with degrees. As a writer he is chiefly known for his pleasant little essays on the joy of fishing. I do not Suppose that professional fishermen, whose lives depend on the run of cod or herring, find it altogether an amusing occupation, but from these essays I learned, as a boy, that there is something very important and spiritual about catching fish, if you have no need of doing so.

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."

Lewis, Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis The Granger Collection [Video] in full HARRY SINCLAIR LEWIS (b. Feb. 7, 1885, Sauk Centre, Minn., U.S.d. Jan. 10, 1951, near Rome, Italy), American novelist and social critic who punctured American complacency with his broadly drawn, widely popular satirical novels. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930, the first given to an American. Lewis graduated from Yale University (1907) and was for a time a reporter and also worked as an editor for several publishers. His first novel, Our Mr. Wrenn (1914), attracted favourable criticism but few readers. At the same time he was writing with ever-increasing success for such popular magazines as The Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan, but he never lost sight of his ambition to become a serious novelist. He undertook the writing of Main Street as a major effort, assuming that it would not bring him the ready rewards of magazine fiction. Yet its publication in 1920 made his literary reputation. Main Street is seen through the eyes of Carol Kennicott, an Eastern girl married to a Middle Western doctor who settles in Gopher Prairie, Minn. (modeled on Lewis' hometown of Sauk

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.

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. Arrowsmith (1925; Pulitzer Prize, refused by Lewis) satirizes the medical profession, and
