Sinclair, Upton Beall (1878-1968)

US novelist. His polemical concern for social reform was reflected in his prolific output of documentary novels. His most famous novel, The Jungle (1906), is an important example of naturalistic writing, which exposed the horrors of the Chicago meat-packing industry and led to a change in food-processing laws. His later novels include King Coal (1917), Oil! (1927), and his 11-volume Lanny Budd series 1940-53, including Dragon's Teeth (1942), which won a Pulitzer Prize.

He was a committed Socialist who was actively involved in politics.
