Cover: Lambert. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The lonely predicament of Carol Kennicott, caught between her desires for social reform and individual happiness, reflects the position in which America's turn - of - the - century, 'emancipated woman' found herself. Carol's dilemma is intensified by the fact that lives in the small, self - satisfied, Midwestern town of Gopher Prairie. An allegory of exile and return, Main Street attacks the drab complacency and ingrown mores of those who resist change, who are under the illusion that they have chosen their tradition. Carol's ostracism, however, results more from her own guilt at 'crusading' than from her rejection by those whom she would have changed. Maxwell Geismar lauded this work as 'a remarkable diary of the middle- class mind in America.' Its author was hailed by John Galsworthy for having written 'a most searching and excellent piece of work; a feather in the cap of literature inventory #39246 ISBN: 0451507533., 0, New York, NY: Signet Classic/New American Library, 1961. 1st Edition 14th Printing.
