In this comprehensive introduction to the work of Jack London, the major Northland works including The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and To Build a Fire are considered in connection with the motifs of literary Naturalism, as well as in relation to complicated issues involving imperialism, race, and gender. Detailed attention is also given to other works that have garnered increased scholarly attention in recent years Londons Pacific fiction, his socialist writings, and his autobiographical nonfiction. Londons key subjects the frontier, the struggle for survival, and economic mobility are examined in conjunction with how he developed the underlying themes of his work to engage and challenge the social, political, and philosophical revolutions of his era initiated by Darwin, Marx, Nietsche, and others.
