"In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of
Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines
the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction
and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his
business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of
a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story
of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages
of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his
productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative
in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday
of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing
on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London
created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other
American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals
the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same
time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature. " ; "The definitive
examination of the early works of Jack London through London's incorporation and understanding
of the role of imagination"
