while not a 'classic novel' Bread and Roses, Too by Katherine Paterson is a new book (2006) about the mill workers strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912 and it is quite good.

Answer 2

Can't provide you a list, but I can give you an important book to put on your list: "The Octopus" by Frank Norris. It's a classic novel of the rise of the railroad in America and the industries that supported it. It's a good read, as they say.

This is a book from the 1930s when a movement against industrialism was taking place among artists and writers. Yet it reads like a modern novel, which it is, one of the first truly modern American novels.

Answer 3

The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair is a classic (some say muckraker) on the human cost of industrialization on American workers and society. It is a standard summer-reading list book at high schools across the US (that is where I first encountered it). It is a disturbing, but very compelling, depiction of the plight of the working class.

World's End bu Upton Sinclair
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
