Nine Unpublished Stories, Essays and Other Works
by
Upton Sinclair / Ruth Clifford Engs, Editor
DESCRIPTION:
Nine unpublished short works of Upton Sinclair, written during the early
20th century, range from comedies and satires of suffragettes and health
cranks, to more serious short stories and essays. These latter items
include the promotion of eugenics, and activities considered
controversial in the Progressive era such as trial marriage and
artificial insemination for single women. The two major themes of these
unpublished works -- women seeking independence and individuals seeking
diet and health cures -- are often linked.
A 40 page biography of Sinclair, by the editor, focuses on the time period when these items were written.
REVIEWS
"The editor also adds an enlightening short
biography which
avoids well
known details while providing a helpful sense of perspective."
