About the Item
Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis. Harcourt, Brace, and Company, New York, 1927. First edition hardcover with facsimile dust jacket. 432 pp. First issue binding with G resembling a C on the spine that was changed in later printings. It was a satirical novel that presents aspects of the religious activity of America in fundamentalist and evangelistic circles and the attitudes of the 1920s public toward it. The Reverend Dr. Elmer Gantry, is initially attracted by booze and easy money (though he eventually renounces tobacco and alcohol) and chasing women. After various forays into evangelism, he becomes a successful Methodist minister despite his hypocrisy and serial sexual indiscretions. It was made into a 1960 film and won three academy awards.
