Sinclair Lewis (Bloom's Modern Critical Views)

Though Sinclair Lewis was a winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, Bloom suggests that his reputation declined in the latter half of the 20th century. However, Arrowsmith is still widely read, and Bloom argues that Babbit and Dodsworth deserve larger audiences. This title, Sinclair Lewis, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Views series, examines the major works of Sinclair Lewis through full-length critical essays by expert literary critics. In addition, this title features a short biography on Sinclair Lewis, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.
