landmark in American literature, Elmer Gantry scandalized readers when it was
first published, causing Sinclair Lewis to be “invited” to a jail cell in <st1:state w:st="on">New Hampshire</st1:state> and to his own lynching in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Virginia</st1:place></st1:state>. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<font size="2">“[Sinclair Lewis’s] satiric indictment of
fundamentalist religion that caused an uproar upon its publication in 1927. The
title character of Elmer Gantry starts out as a greedy, shallow, philandering
Baptist minister, turns to evangelism, and eventually becomes the leader of a large
Methodist congregation. Throughout the novel Gantry encounters fellow religious
hypocrites [and although] he is often exposed as a fraud, Gantry is never fully
discredited. – <i style="">The Merriam-Webster
