| Abstract | "This second Norton Critical Edition of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle features the complete authoritative text of Sinclair's novel as it appeared in the first edition published by Doubleday, Page and Company. Sinclair's most famous work excoriates the working conditions of the American meat packing industry at the turn of the 20th century and serves as a powerful rallying cry for socialism. In addition to the main text with its careful annotations by Clare Virginia Eby, the Norton Critical Edition of The Jungle includes an extensive "Contexts" section, providing a multitude of secondary sources on a range of relevant topics including American capitalism, immigration and labor policies, and animal ethics. Additionally, excerpts of Sinclair's own writing on his life and career are included alongside critical reviews and studies of the novel. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"-- Provided by publisher. |
