Abstract:

In Jack London: Landscape, Love, and Place, American Studies theories and methods formed the prime basis for analysis of London's biography, historical context, and literary significance. Particularly, the ideas of agrarianism, the Turner Thesis moment, Western literature, American masculinity, Victorian ideals, and sustainable farm practices in America were used to understand London's motivations for writing and creating his farm, his influence on American literature, and his texts' abilities to open avenues between literature and place-based education. Key concepts that influenced how London

Abstract:

Il y a deux discours contradictoires chez Jack London, l'un socialiste et l'autre évolutionniste. Notre propos a été d'indiquer que l'idéologie évolutionniste est antinomique avec l'idéologie et l'idéal socialistes tels que nous les entendons, c'est-à-dire la coopération, l'avènement d'un ordre social ou la rivalité, la compétition feraient place à l'harmonie sociale et à la solidarité. La lutte pour l'existence, la survivance du plus apte qui sont les fondements mêmes du système évolutionniste s'opposent à l'idéal des socialistes. Or Jack London prône visiblement l'une et l'autre idéologies d

Abstract:

L'Alaska permet à Jack London de créer un espace littéraire par lequel il espère écrire sur le réel ou sur les origines de l'humanité. Mais il se détourne d'une écriture qui se voudrait transitive vers une écriture repliée sur elle-même. Cette position de repli présente des similitudes avec la camisole de force du vagabond du ciel (the star rover), et son effet libérateur est aussi limite. Jack London capitule finalement vers une position esthétique non conflictuelle par laquelle les gestes du duel à mort sont considérés en eux-mêmes: ils deviennent ainsi les gestes du spectacle désintéressé,

Abstract:

This thesis documents the significant involvement of London's fiction with contemporary culture. In doing so it calls particular attention to his intellectual restlessness and to his methodology of adoption and adaptation. I argue that London combined his role as a successful popular writer with a steadfast commitment to experimentation and innovation, producing works that were and are complex and challenging. In the first chapter I analyse the circumstances that contributed to London's successful emergence into the literary marketplace at the turn of the century. I examine the genesis of Lond

The purpose of my thesis seeks to uncover the constructed nature of the Anglo-Saxon ethnicity within two works of fiction.

Both authors lived and wrote in the Bay Area during the Progressive Era of American politics. Therefore, there is political, stylistic, and regional proximity. Although Anglo-Saxonism has always been present in the United States, the construction of race was changing in the 1900s. The Valley of the Moon and McTeague both contain intriguing (a
