The Jungle
The Jungle
What are the matters on which Mr. Sinclair reports in the book?
What might be the origins of resistance to publish the book ?
Was this a classic case of suppression of a "dangerous" text, or rather a symptom of publishers putting their heads in the sand ?
Are the causes of "disgust" overdone in the novel ?
Or are we now less squeamish, morally and physically, than Sinclair's first readers ?
