I'm a little curious about your motivation for the need for scholarly work on "The Jungle". Are you writing an analysis on the analysis or just looking for insight? Have you read the book? If not, your local library certainly will have a copy.

well his book helped start food regulations and FDA so look into the history of that and the meat packing industries (Chicago in particular) and their history and requirements now compared to then, etc.
