At the end of the First world war came to a crisis of the economy. This gave impetus to the popularity of writers who touched on social issues. Among them were Sinclair, issued in this period the fundamental work "Main street”. In it he rebels against the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness in the views of the provincial heartland of the United States. In all the books before that Sinclair used the technique of creating illusions, dreams of the protagonist, through which he has found reconciliation with reality. Here, the characters, on the contrary, break all the romance and strive to fight the unfair attitude. Social issues more keenly discern in this novel, and a departure from the use of romance with the illusion of the worlds is considered a turning point in the work.
