Biography of the Day
Upton Sinclair


American novelist Upton Sinclair, born this day in 1878, wrote The Jungle (1906), a landmark work that aroused indignation at impurities in processed meats and helped bring about federal food-inspection laws.

"Practically alone among the American writers of his generation, [Sinclair] put to the American public the fundamental questions raised by capitalism in such a way that they could not escape them."

Edmund Wilson
