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 ?

Or are we now less squeamish, morally and physically, than Sinclair's first readers ?

This is a thematic question. You might consider themes like Socialism, capitalist abuse of the worker, the food industry at the time, and the immigrant experience. You can find them in the GradeSaver link below,

You need to submit each of your other questions one at a time and I will get to them. Thanks!

You need to make a new post for each of them. For each one, go to "ask a question".
