Overview: Upton Sinclair was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, activist, and politician Born into an impoverished family in Baltimore, Maryland, Sinclair entered City College of New York five days before his fourteenth birthday. He wrote dime novels and articles for pulp magazines to pay for his tuition, and continued his writing career as a graduate student at Columbia University. In 1915, he moved to California, where he founded the state’s ACLU chapter and became an influential political figure, running for governor as the Democratic nominee in 1934. Sinclair wrote close to one hundred books during his lifetime, including Oil! (1927), the inspiration for the 2007 movie There Will Be Blood; Boston (1928), a documentary novel revolving around the Sacco and Vanzetti case; The Brass Check, a muckraking exposé of American journalism, and the eleven novels in Pulitzer Prize-winning Lanny Budd series.

Manassas: A Novel of the Civil War This ambitious Civil War novel centers on the moral dimension of the conflict as it traces a young Mississippi boy’s conversion from pro-slavery Southerner to abolitionist Union soldier.
Allan Montague, born on a Mississippi plantation about twenty years before the Civil War, has grown up with slavery and considers it natural. When his father moves to Boston for business and takes the boy with him, young Allan carries a knife given to him by his cousin to use in killing abolitionists. The first abolitionist young Allan meets in Boston is Levi Coffin, the reputed founder of the Underground Railroad. In this first of many meetings with historical figures, Allan forms a friendship with Coffin, who eventually takes him to hear a speech by former slave Frederick Douglass. Douglass’s
powerful words cement Allan’s transformation into an abolitionist–a transformation that will lead him back to his Deep South home with the hope of freeing slaves and eventually back to the North and the fateful Battle of Manassas.
Prince Hagen: A Play in 4 Acts This fantasy is written by Upton Sinclair, he uses his satirical style to its greatest potential to hack away at the conventions of his time and in so doing, foresees his later serious critiques of capitalistic society.
Sylvia’s Marriage Sylvia’s Marriage Being the Story of a Civilized Man is the 1914 novel by the famous Pulitzer Prize winning author and playwright, Upton Sinclair. Like many of Sinclair’s novels, the story hits on social injustices. The story concerns Sylvia Castleman, but the main theme inn this novel is the gender equality and naïveté of marriage in the early twentieth century. It isn’t too often venereal disease plays a part in classical literature, but again in true Sinclair style, he does not shy away.
