Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
(Part of the Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations Series)
No Customer Reviews
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle not only drew attention from the likes of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and the future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, it drew action. The novel's depiction of what takes place in a meat-processing plant pressed the U.S. government into taking steps to regulate the industry for the benefit of workers and consumers. Industrialization, immigration, corporate and government responsibility, the limits of capitalist power-all of these classic American issues and themes found in this seminal work are still debated today.?This new edition of literary criticism features full-length essays examining Sinclair's work and includes a bibliography, a chronology of the author's life, and an index for quick reference.
