Manuscripts
The collection consists of correspondence written between Upton Sinclair and his friend and colleague, Thomas Hastie Bell (1867-1942). As both men were writers and political activists by profession, much of their correspondence deals with the intersection between literature and politics. Specific subjects addressed within their correspondence include twentieth-century American literature, communism in the Soviet Union, labor unions and the labor movement in the United States, socialism in the United States, the Spanish Civil War, and twentieth-century politics and government in the United States. Individuals discussed within the collection include Alexander Berkman, Frank Harris, Rudolph Rocker, Leon Trotsky, and Oscar Wilde
