Elmer Gantry a Crude Satire on Clergy Portraits
Austin Tims reviews Sinclair Lewis's Elmer Gantry as a sharp but rough satirist take on the clergy. The piece notes the public rush to read the novel about preachers, praises Lewis for exposing pretensions, and compares his style to Swift and France while cautioning that Gantry remains an unconvincing hero and a blunt portrayal of religious hypocrisy. The reviewer highlights themes of private doubt versus public faith, and ends with a stark moral: kindness without cruelty, and the rule to strike harshly only when necessary.
