Bethel Merriday is the titular character of Sinclair Lewis’ 1940 novel. She is a young woman from a small town in Minnesota who moves to New York City to pursue her dreams of becoming a writer. Bethel is intelligent, ambitious, and determined, but she is also naive and inexperienced when it comes to the ways of the world.
Young Bethel Merriday, an eager amateur with theatre in her blood, is the most attractive and the most convincing heroine Mr. Lewis has ever drawn.
Herbert Merriday, Bethel's father, was a dealer in furniture, to which, later, he was importantly to add electric refrigerators and radios. They lived in Sladesbury, a city of 127,000, in central Connecticut, a fount of brassware, hardware, arms, precision instruments, clocks.
