Recounting his 1897-98 Klondike Gold Rush experience Jack London
stated: "It was in the Klondike I found myself. There nobody talks.
Everybody thinks. There you get your perspective. I got mine." This
study explores how London's Northland odyssey - along with an
insatiable intellectual curiosity, a hardscrabble youth in the San
Francisco Bay Area, and an acute craving for social justice -
launched the literary career of one of America's most dynamic
20th-century writers. 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. London's 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 that were initiated by Darwin, Marx, Nietzsche, and others.
