SummaryTable of Contents
The Jungle's influence on the "real world" is extraordinary for a literary work. Sinclair's 1906 landmark novel is credited with awakening the widespread public fury that led to the rapid passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act (1906), a watershed in consumer protection and government legislation.
