Jack London (1876-1916) Contributing Editor: Joan D. Hedrick Classroom Issues and Strategies I explore the way in which the class divisions of society, demarcated by "The Slot," create divisions in an individual's consciousness. This will open up a way to discuss "South of the Slot," particularly if students have themselves experienced a self divided between two (or more) cultures. I have found that foreign students and working-class students have very strong, positive responses to London's stories of the hazards of cultural mobility. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues The double is a familiar theme in American literature, but London gives it a new twist by exploring it in class as well as psychological terms. London's politics were shaped in the 1890s by the depression, labor disputes, and the Socialist Labor Party. During the same period he also determined that he would become a writer, motivated in part by his fear of slipping into the underclass, which he called "the Social Pit." London struggled to reconcile his radical, working-class identity with that of his middle-class, literary self. His satirical portrait of Freddie Drummond distances him from a self he might have become. Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions

Home Introduction Biography Ranch Cottage Wolf House Museum ... Sitemap A Short Jack London Biography Page 1 of 2 Jack London's Credo "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them, I shall use my time." ack London was a man of adventure, a man of action and only he could have truly conceived such a dynamic and challenging credo as this. And only he, with his great physical strength, his intense intellect, and his turbulent spirit, could have successfully lived up to it. He died when he was only forty, but he accomplished more in this short lifetime than most men could in several lifetimes. Source: Jack London's Tales of Adventure New York: Doubleday, 1956, Introduction by and edited by Irving Shepard "Born in San Francisco in 1876 Jack London grew up in a world witnessing the settlement of the last frontier. Gone forever were the proud days of the pioneer. The country was beset with economic and cultural changes that for decades were to play havoc with the traditional American way of life. It was a world in transition. The easygoing days of an economy dominated by agriculture were being replaced by the world of machine, the factory, and the financial titan. America in the late 1800s was a battleground for unscrupulous tycoons and robber barons. The Far West was torn apart by the struggles of the big railroad interests. Financial panics followed one after the other as the "Big Four" plotted and conspired to gain more money and power. The economy remained in a state of flux. And the people were the pawns.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History LONDON, JACK , author. London's life and writing played a major role in reshaping the ideas of authorship and of literary expression in early twentieth-century America. Out of a San Francisco childhood of extreme poverty and hard manual labor—he was cannery worker, oyster pirate, and seaman while still in his teens—London burst on the literary scene at the turn of the century with fresh subject matter and iconoclastic beliefs. He achieved almost immediate success. Drawing upon his year in the Klondike during the Alaskan gold rush of 1897-1898, his initial and probably still most significant body of work consisted of short stories and novels set in the Far North. In them men and beasts test their strength and knowledge against the elemental forces of nature and the rapaciousness of other men. London's best Klondike fiction was collected in his first book, The Son of the Wolf (1900), and other volumes and reached its peak in the short novels The Call of the Wild (1903), his most famous novel, and

Site Orientation Heath Orientation Timeline Access Author Profile Pages by: Fourth Edition Table of Contents Concise Edition Table of Contents Authors by Name Authors by Year ... Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Jack London Longing for stability and roots, he seized upon writing as a ticket to a secure middle-class identity. At a time when novelists like Henry James were becoming self-conscious about their profession and articulating a privileged culture around their activity, London approached writing as a working-class trade; he apprenticed himself to the popular magazines and learned their formulas. In 1899 he broke into print in the Overland Monthly with his Alaskan stories. They brought him immediate success and are among the finest he ever wrote. London's first novel, A Daughter of the Snows (1902), was a commercial and critical failure, but The Call of the Wild (1903) brought him national fame at the age of twenty-six. As myth, adventure story, and lyrical transformation of his working-class experiences, it remains his most fully realized work. Success was accompanied by sharp disillusionment, reflected in the pessimism and contradictions of The Sea-Wolf (1904) and the dissolution of his short-lived marriage to Bessie Maddern. By the willpower that marked his attempt to pull himself out of the Social Pit, London pulled himself out of his depression, married Charmian Kittredge, and wrote a total of fifty-one volumes before he died at the age of forty. In addition to many novels and volumes of short stories, including tales of the South Seas, he wrote political essays and a journalistic exposé of the East End of London (

Jack London The Call of the Wild Martin Eden Samuel The Sea-Wolf ... White Fang Introduction "The chief qualification of ninety per cent of all editors is failure. They have failed as writers, and right there is the cursed paradox of it. Every portal of literature is guarded by those watchdogs." Jack Griffith London was born in San Francisco in 1876. His father worked as and astrologer while his mother was a spiritualist. The name he took was that of his stepfather, John London, although he grew up without a father. He grew up in difficult and deprived circumstances. This led him in his early years to earn a modest living as an oyster pirate at fifteen, a worker in a canning factory and at seventeen as a deep-sea sailor. He also showed literary promise early, winning $25 for his first story in a competition for the San Francisco Morning Call . London was also involved in the Klondike gold rush in 1897. Crucially, at eighteen he was arrested for vagrancy at the Niagara Falls. Deloused and sentenced to thirty days' hard labour he was put on a chain gang and witnessed appalling conditions the images and thought of which he never escaped. The hardship and adventure of these years did however offer literary ammunition and gave him a hard-line socialist edge despite his distinctly non-politically correct views on race and women. London included many of his experiences in his novels. He made his name writing stories about the Far North although hardly aided by using a typewriter that only printed capital letters. The first of these was

The Scab by Jack London, After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out. No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with. Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab has not. Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver.

Figlio illegittimo, fu allevato, oltre che dalla madre, da una nutrice nera e da un padre adottivo che collezionava un fallimento dietro l'altro. Così Jack conobbe ben presto la strada e collezionò, prima di esordire come romanziere, una serie infinita di lavori: cacciatore di foche, cercatore d'oro nel klondike, avventuriero. I tre romanzi che gli dettero la notorietà, in una abbondantissima produzione letteraria che comprende anche numerosi racconti, sono Il richiamo della foresta (1903), Zanna Bianca (1906) e l'autobiografico Martin Eden (1909).

Jack London (1876-1916) John Griffith London (1876-1916) was born in San Francisco to an unmarried mother, Flora Wellman. His father may have been William Chaney, a journalist, lawyer, and major figure in the development of American astrology. Because Flora was ill, Jack was raised through infancy by an ex-slave, Virginia Prentiss, who would remain a major maternal figure while the boy grew up. Late in 1876, Flora married John London, a partially disabled Civil War veteran. The family moved around the Bay area before settling in Oakland, where Jack completed grade school. Though the family was working class, it was not so impoverished as London's later accounts claimed. As an adolescent, London worked at various hard labor jobs, pirated for oysters on San Francisco Bay, served on a fish patrol to capture poachers, sailed the Pacific on a sealing ship, joined Kelly's Army of unemployed working men, hoboed around the country, and returned to attend high school at age 19. In the process, he became acquainted with socialism and was known as the Boy Socialist of Oakland for his street corner oratory, and would run unsuccessfully several times on the socialist ticket as mayor. Always a prolific reader, he consciously chose to become a writer as an escape from the horrific prospects of a life as a factory worker. He studied other writers and began to submit stories, jokes, and poems to various publications, mostly without success. Spending the winter of 1897 in the Yukon provided the metaphorical gold for his first stories, which he began publishing in the Overland Monthly in 1899. From that point he was a highly disciplined writer, who would produce over fifty volumes of stories, novels, and political essays. Although
