  • Jack London's Last Tales of the South Seas
    THE QUEST THAT FAILED: JACK LONDON’S LAST TALES OF THE SOUTH SEAS by David A. Moreland As I see him the utterly infinitesimal individual weaves among the mysteries a floss-like and wholly meaningless course-- if course it be. In short I catch no meaning from all I have seen, and pass quite as I came, confused and dismayed. --Theodore Dreiser We . float like fog-wisps through glooms and darknesses and light-flashings. It is all fog and mist, and we are all foggy and misty in the thick of the mystery. --Jack London A thankless task God has appointed for men to be busied about. --Ecclesiastes The Jack London who stepped off the steamship Matsonia onto Ha- waiian soil March 2, 1915, bore little resemblance to that healthy, hand- some, confident author-celebrity who had sailed the Snark into Pearl Har- bor some eight years before. Although only thirty-nine years old, he was overweight, insomnolent, rheumatic, alternately lethargic and irritable, and, most significantly, suffering from chronic uremia. Physically, psychologically, and artistically he was in rapid decline and had turned with increasing frequency to drugs to relieve pain and to bring the relief of sleep. Today, the visitor to the Jack London Museum near Glen Ellen, California, may view London’s medicine chest, the con- stant companion of his last years. Within it are strychnine, strontium sul- fate, aconite, belladonna, heroin, morphine, and opium. According to a recent biographer, by 1915 he “was ordering six times the normal pre- scription of opium, hyoscyamine, and camphor capsules,” while “also tak- ing regular injections of atropine and belladonna mixed with opium and morphine to stimulate his heart and bladder muscles and to put him to sleep.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05246-8 - The Cambridge Companion to: American Science Fiction Edited by Eric Carl Link and Gerry Canavan Excerpt More information GERRY CANAVAN AND ERIC CARL LINK Introduction This volume owes an obvious intellectual debt to Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James’s earlier Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction , to which it serves as a kind of unoffi cial sequel. Indeed, the general excel- lence of that volume when set against the newly narrowed specifi city of our title poses a certain inevitable question: Why develop a project devoted to American science fi ction – interpreted in this volume primarily to mean U.S. fi ction – in the fi rst place? Why limit ourselves to SF from just one nation? All literary forms are cross-cultural and transnational at some level, a fact that has never been truer than in the increasingly globalized literary world of the twentieth and now twenty-fi rst centuries – the centuries during which SF developed, thrived, and ultimately came to dominate much of the cul- tural landscape of both the United States and the world. Indeed, the global interconnectedness of literary forms is, if anything, even more emblematic of SF than it is of other genres; SF – as a foundation for popular fandom, as an object of critical inquiry, as an interactive framework through which indi- viduals engage their worlds and envision their collective futures – has never been easily bordered. Even on the level of SF’s own favored themes, limit- ing our investigation to only American SF seems somehow distasteful, even perverse; SF’s attitude toward the form of the nation-state has characteristi- cally been quite hostile.

The majority of the correspondence is from Jack and Charmian London to Mr. Wiget, the caretaker of their ranch in Glen Ellen, or to Ed and Ida Winship. The correspondence also includes one love letter from Jack to Charmian. Series 2 – First Appearances: Writings published in magazines Magazines often provided the first appearances of Jack London’s short stories and novels in serialized form. For example, The Call of the Wild first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in June of 1903. It was then published later that same year by the Macmillan Company. Studying first appearances in magazines gives the researcher the opportunity to analyse textual changes that occurred over time and provides an opportunity to view the original illustrations. In several instances, Jack London specifically chose the illustrator for his stories. The collection contains two hundred and thirty-seven of Jack London’s magazine publications, both fiction and non-fiction, including many first appearances.

  • Jack London's Works by Date of Composition
    Jack London's Works by Date of Composition By James Williams The following chronological listing is an aid to further research in London studies. Used with other sources it becomes a powerful means to clarify the obscurities and confusions surrounding London's writing career. The rationale for including the following titles is two-fold. First, all novels and all stories listed in Russ Kingman, "A Collector's Guide to Jack London" have been included. I chose Kingman's list rather than Woodbridge's bibliography because the former is easier to use for this purpose and is as reliable as the latter. In addition, stories, sketches, and poems appear in the following list that were not published by London but are significant because they give us a fuller idea of the nature of London's work at a particular time. This is especially true for the first years of his writing. A few explanations concerning the sources are necessary. I have been conservative in my approximations of dates that cannot be pinpointed exactly. If, for example, a story's date of composition cannot be verified, and no reliable circumstantial evidence exists, then I have simply given its date of publication. Publication dates are unreliable guides for composing dates and can be used only as the latest possible date that a given story could have been written. One may find out if the date given is a publication date simply by checking to see if the source is Woodbridge, the standard London bibliography. If the source used is JL 933-935, then the date is most likely the earliest date London sent the manuscript to a publisher.

    1 The Fiction of Jack London: A Chronological bibliography Compiled and Annotated by DALE L.WALKER The University of Texas at El Paso Original Research and Editing by JAMES E. SISSON III Berkeley, California Updated Research and Editing by Daniel J. Wichlan Pleasant Hill, California 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword 3 Introduction (Revised) 6 Key to Collections 10 Chronological Bibliography 12 Books by Jack London 48 Jack London: A Chronology 51 Appendix 54 Index 56 Selected Sources 64 3 FOREWORD TO THE NEW EDITION Through the assistance of the late Russ Kingman, the great Jack London authority and long- time friend, I made contact by correspondence with James E. Sisson III, in 1970. I had asked Russ for advice on who I could contact on questions about some of London’s hard-to-find short fiction. "Jim Sisson is the guy," said Russ. Sisson, a Berkeley, California, researcher, was very helpful from the outset and his encyclopedic knowledge of London’s work quickly resolved my questions. In subsequent correspondence I learned that Sisson felt London’s short stories were not adequately treated in Jack London: A Bibliography, compiled by Hensley Woodbridge, John London and George H. Tweney (Georgetown, CA: Talisman Press, 1966). He complained that the stories were buried among magazine articles, chapters from The Cruise of the Snark, The Road, and other nonfiction works, all lost in a welter of foreign language translations including Latvian, Finnish, Turkoman, and Ukrainian. He also claimed that many of London’s stories were missing from Woodbridge, remaining buried in obscure and long-defunct magazines, uncollected in book form.
