Jack London (1876-1916) found fame with his wolf-dog tales and
sagas of the frozen North, but Cecelia Tichi challenges the
long-standing view of London as merely a mass-market producer of
potboilers. A onetime child laborer, London led a life of poverty
in the Gilded Age before rising to worldwide acclaim for stories,
novels, and essays designed to hasten the social, economic, and
political advance of America. In this major reinterpretation of
London's career, Tichi examines how the beloved writer leveraged
his written words as a force for the future. Tracing the arc of
London's work from the late 1800s through the 1910s, Tichi profiles
the writer's allies and adversaries in the cities, on the factory
floor, inside prison walls, and in the farmlands. Thoroughly
exploring London's importance as an artist and as a political and
public figure, Tichi brings to life a man who merits recognition as
one of America's foremost public intellectuals.
