Inspiring the passage in 1906 of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act, The Jungle stands as a classic of piece of twentieth-century American literature and social protest. Containing a critical introduction to a wide range of issues raised by the text, including early twentieth-century working conditions, immigrant community, race and gender, political reform, supporting documents illustrate the continuing relevance of the investigation that eventually led to the novel.
