Jack London's remarkable success as a short-story writer came at a critical moment in American literary history. The vacuum created by the deaths of Stephen Crane and Frank Norris, the suppression of Theodore Dreiser, the disaffection of Henry James, and the decline into old age of Mark Twain and William Dean Howells had been filled by a host of long-forgotten popular hacks. London's emergence came as a tremendous shock. 'Like Stanford's edition of Jack London's letters, this edition of his short stories will revolutionize not only London studies but cultural studies of all kinds that are focused on the Progressive Era in American history. Finally, this authoritative, carefully edited collection includes an extensive introduction that indicates a breadth and depth of scholarship that compels as much admiration as it does interest.' Joseph R. McElrath, Jr, Florida State University
