London’s life embodied the frenetic modernization of America between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of World War I. With his thirst for adventure, his rags-to-riches success story, and his progressive political ideas, London’s stories conveyed an authentic portrait of the formation of the American nation and its transformation into a global power and industrial civilization. A writer with a keen eye and an innate sense, London realized that the nation’s growing readership was ready for a different kind of writing: one that needed to be direct, powerful, and lively. His adventures in Alaska and the Klondike held the trump card, which held a strong appeal for American readers eager for nostalgic creativity.
