    The Road to Wigan Pier and the Jungle: The conditions and the troubles of the working class and the writers’ suggestion of socialism
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2018-05-09) Dinçer, Figun; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/İngiliz Dili Eğitimi Bölümü.
    The accounts of George Orwell (1903-1950) in The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) and Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) in the Jungle (1906) and their personal experiences and observations of the working-class life in Wigan Pier, the industrial north of England and the Packingtown in Chicago, reveal the horrible working and housing conditions, unemployment, and thus the struggle for survival. One of the main reasons of the fact that these writers suggest socialism as a solution is the conditions of the laborers in both places which the writers personally observed and reflected in their works. This study aims to explore these social problems which eventually lead the writers who are from different countries in different times suggest socialism in different ways from each other.
