Synopsis

Dodsworth is a satirical novel by American writer Sinclair Lewis, about a retired fellow and his wife who tour Europe together in the 1920's. On their extensive travels across Europe they are soon caught up in vastly different lifestyles, and as they following their own pursuits, their marriage is strained to the breaking point. Dodsworth's subject matter, namely the differences between US and European intellect, manners, and morals, is similar to that which appears in the writing of Henry James.
