Main Street

Sinclair Lewis

Main Street, first published in 1920, tells the story of Carol Kennicott, an idealistic young woman who moves to the small town of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, after marrying a local doctor. Carol dreams of transforming the town's conservative and narrow-minded ways, but she soon faces resistance from its residents. Through Carol's struggles, Lewis offers a sharp critique of small-town life, provincialism, and the conformity of American society in the early 20th century. Main Street became a landmark in American literature for its biting social commentary and realistic portrayal of the challenges of reform.
