Overview
For nearly a century the original edition of Upton Sinclair's classic expose novel, "The Jungle," has remained almost entirely unknown. When it was published in 1905, it was a full third longer than the censored commercial edition published the following year. That expurgated commercial edition edited out much of the ethnic flavor of the original, as well as some of the goriest descriptions of the meat packing industry and Sinclair's most pointed social and political commentary.
Except for correction of a few obvious typographical errors, the text of this new See Sharp Press edition is exactly as it appeared in the uncensored, original edition in 1905, along with a foreword by Earl Lee about the discovery and subsequent suppression of the original edition, as well as an introduction by Kathleen DeGrave placing the novel in historical context and explaining the historical censorship of the popular commercial edition.
