| Summary, etc. | "Upton Sinclair" by Floyd Dell is a critical biography written in the early 20th century. Framed as “A Study in Social Protest,” it presents Sinclair as the chief literary interpreter of modern industrial America, exploring why he became celebrated abroad while remaining contested at home. Blending biography with literary criticism, it follows his Southern roots, Puritan temperament, radicalization, and major writings to explain his stature in an age of class conflict and social reform.<br/><br/>The opening of the book explains Sinclair’s world reputation by arguing that his novels and pamphlets most vividly describe and interpret industrial America, placing him alongside Cooper, Mark Twain, and Whitman, while noting Europe’s Voltairean respect for engaged writers. It contrasts this with American hesitations: his class-struggle lens, lingering Puritan streak, and unorthodox embrace of machine civilization. The narrative then turns biographical, tracing his Confederate-tinged Baltimore heritage, a proud but alcoholic father and temperance-minded mother, and the boy’s painful awareness of poverty against wealthy relatives. It follows his move to New York, refuge in books (Jesus, Thackeray, Hamlet), early brilliance at City College, disillusion with formal instruction, and embrace of democratic ideals colored by aristocratic pride. Dell recounts the youthful hack years of jokes and dime novels at staggering pace, the ensuing revolt for serious art, language self-education, and the first earnest novel begun in a Quebec cabin. He sketches Sinclair’s ascetic fear of sex, ideal of a pure “mate,” the austere courtship with “Corydon,” their marriage amid poverty, private publication and begging letters, the birth of a son, and a grudging return to hackwork. The section closes with his move to a shack near Princeton and a homespun manifesto on living simply, signaling a more human, domestically tempered phase in the making of the social novelist.
