"Being a man given to oratory and high principles, he enjoyed the sound of his own vocabulary and the warmth of his own virtue." -Sinclair Lewis, Babbitt In the novel Babbitt (1922), Sinclair Lewis created a sardonic portrait of a typical American businessman, striving to conform to the standards of the American culture of the time.
