Abstract
Jack London as an individual and as an author has come to represent a larger than life figure in American letters. Though he was one of the most popular writers of his time and the highest paid author of his generation, until the 1950s London was held in low esteem by most critics. Since then, London has been examined by a growing number of scholars and critics. According to Tony Williams's article on London, "Clarence E. Shurtleff Presents Jack London, 1919-1921," London's diverse output of writing reflects the tension between "Socialist ideals and individuality," which mirrors the popular and political struggles of his age. Jack London's Women, by Clarice Stasz, points out that this conflict permeated the domestic sphere of London's life where he held contradictory views about the roles of women in work, relationships, and marriage. Stasz's latest book is a controversial biography that challenges previous assessments and perceptions of London and the women who loved, nurtured, and inspired him. [End Page 846]
