Description
The Jungle is a 1906 work of narrative fiction by
American muckraker novelist Upton Sinclair.
Sinclair's primary purpose in describing the meat
industry and its working conditions was to
advance socialism in the United States. However,
most readers were more concerned with several
passages exposing health violations and
unsanitary practices in the American meat-packing
industry during the early 20th century,
which greatly contributed to a public outcry that
led to reforms including the Meat Inspection
Act.The book depicts working- class poverty, lack
of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living
and working conditions, and hopelessness among
many workers. These elements are contrasted with
the deeply rooted corruption of people in power.
A review by the writer Jack London called it
quottheUncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery.quotSin
lair was considered a muckraker, a journalist who
exposed corruption in government and business. In
1904, Sinclair had spent seven weeks gathering
information while working incognito in the
meatpacking plants of the Chicago stockyards for
the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason.
He first published the novel in serial form in
1905 in the
newspaper, and it was published as a book by
Doubleday in 1906.
