Description

Explore a new perspective on one of literature's most significant figures with The Oxford Handbook of Jack London. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume moves beyond the standard labels of naturalist writing and violence. Instead, it examines London's first-hand engagement with the world and his identity as a citizen of the world. This handbook looks at the broader, more contemporary aspects of his work. Rather than focusing solely on the natural forces often used to periodize his writing, this collection explores the modern and modernist qualities of his literary output. It provides a deep look into how London reflected and represented the world around him through a lens that is both indeterminant and deeply connected to his time. Ideal for students, scholars, and readers of literary theory, this book offers a way to understand London not just through the lens of nature, but as a complex modernist writer. It serves as a necessary resource for anyone looking to understand the weight and scope of his contribution to contemporary literature.
