Such is our comfortable tradition and sure faith. 520 $a Main Street (1920), Lewis's first triumph, was a phenomenal event in American publishing and cultural history. Lewis's idealistic, imaginative heroine, Carol Kennicott, longs "to get [her] hands on one of these prairie towns and make it beautiful," but when her doctor husband brings her to Gopher Prairie, she finds that the romance of the American frontier has dwindled to the drab reality of the American Middle West. Carol first struggles against and then flees the social tyrannies and cultural emptiness of Gopher Prairie, only to submit at last to the conventions of village life. The great romantic satire of its decade, Main Street is a wry, sad, funny account of a woman who attempts to challenge the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of her community. 650 0 $a Women college graduates $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Physicians' spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a City and town life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Minnesota $v Fiction. 650 6 $a MeÌdecins $x Conjoints $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Vie urbaine $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Femmes marieÌes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Minnesota $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Women college graduates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177443 650 7 $a Physicians' spouses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062987 650 7 $a Married women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010701 650 7 $a City and town life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862081 651 7 $a Minnesota. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204560 653 0 $a Fiction $a Fiction 653 0 $a Fiction $a Fiction 653 0 $a Fiction $a Fiction 653 0 $a Fiction $a Fiction 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a novels. $2 aat 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lewis, Sinclair, 1885-1951. $t Main street. $d New York : P.F.
