LIMITED EDITION OF SINCLAIR LEWIS' MASTERPIECE WITH NINE PROVOCATIVE ILLUSTRATIONS BY GRANT WOOD WHO HAS SIGNED THE EDITION OF ONLY 1500 COPIES. MAIN STREET is a highly important American novel satirizing small-town life in the early 20th century. It is important for a number of reasons — among them is the portrayal of a strong female protagonist and what one might now call feminist themes. Highly acclaimed upon publication it led in part to Lewis' eventual 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature. MAIN STREET was also awarded the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for literature but was rejected by the Board of Trustees who overturned the jury's decision. The prize went instead to Edith Wharton for The Age of Innocence. In 1926 Lewis refused the Pulitzer when he was awarded it for ARROWSMITH. Grant Wood was an exceptional choice to provide illustrations for Main Steet being best known for his paintings depicting the rural American Midwest such as "American Gothic" an iconic work of early 20th-century American art and one of the most famous American paintings of all time. Several of the illustrations are portraits of Gopher Prairie's inhabitants. At the Lakeside Press for Members of the Limited Editions Club unknown
