Elmer Gantry Sinclair Lewis 2007 First Signet Classics Historical Fiction Book A new introduction by Jason Stevens, adding contemporary insight to this classic American novel. Universally recognized as a landmark in American literature, Elmer Gantry scandalized readers when it was first published, causing Sinclair Lewis to be "invited" to a jail cell in New Hampshire and to his own lynching in Virginia. His portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist who rises to power within his church-- a saver of souls who lives a life of duplicity, sensuality, and ruthless self-indulgence-- is also the record of a period, a reign of grotesque vulgarity, which but for Lewis would have left no trace of itself. Elmer Gantry has been called the greatest, most vital, and most penetrating study of hypocrisy that has been written since the works of Voltaire. "Elmer Gantry" is recognized as a landmark in American literature, capturing the complexities of a charismatic yet morally flawed evangelist. Sinclair Lewis's novel offers a penetrating study of hypocrisy and societal values, making it a timeless read for fans of literary fiction and American classics. Book is in good condition.
