Jack London’s “The Call of the Wild”

watch John Griffith Chaney—generally known by his pen-name of Jack London—was one of the first American writers to capitalize on “commercial” fiction (the way, I suppose, that Dickens had in Victorian England), publishing his stories and serializing novels in American magazines and then in book form, becoming perhaps the first American writer to become a true… Continue reading https://everitte.org/j4wn59hua5 Jack London’s “The Call of the Wild”

Sinclair Lewis’s “Babbitt”

see Sinclair Lewis has declined somewhat in popularity and scholarly interest since his heyday in the 1920s, having generally been surpassed in literary reputation by his younger contemporaries like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and even Steinbeck.

https://www.drcarolineedwards.com/2024/09/18/wp1hfa3 Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is another of the “no-brainers” that appear on this list.

D.H. Lawrence’s “Sons and Lovers”

https://vbmotorworld.com/944tt1cm2z5 D.H. Lawrence has always been a controversial figure in English letters. Though some of his novels (particularly The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Sons and Lovers) had been well received, his unorthodox lifestyle and the frank treatment of sex, especially in his later novels, alienated many readers and critics, so by the time of his death in 1930,… Continue reading D.H.

Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw”

https://www.parolacce.org/2024/09/18/iqw47uwqd When I was in graduate school, some time back in the Jurassic period, I was assigned Henry James’ The Ambassadors to read for a seminar in literary theory. I remember slashing my way through the morass of James’ language like Henry Morton Stanley macheting his way through the thickest jungles in his search for Dr. Livingstone, he… Continue reading Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw”
