"Out of this Furnace" by Thomas Bell

From the Paper:

""Out of this Furnace"
The purpose of this paper is to discuss Thomas Bell's 1941 novel Out of This Furnace. This semi-autobiographical work was written by its author without the benefit of formal education, and it derives from other novels with the style of "social realism" such as Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (1906) and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy (1925).
