Main Street is considered a classic because it fundamentally changed how American literature depicted small‑town life, combining sharp social satire, psychological realism, and a historically revealing portrait of early‑20th‑century America. - link2source-WIKI - It is a story set in the small town of Gopher Prairie, a fictionalized version of Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Lewis's hometown.

Main Street offers an unusually detailed, satirical, and historically specific portrait of everyday life in a Midwestern small town during the 1910s, right up through World War I and the onset of Prohibition.
