language
(Greenhaven Press April 25, 2014)
Great literature resonates with us not only because of well-developed characters and plots, but also because it often reflects important social themes; these books explore a work of literature through the lens of the major issue reflected in it.; This volume explores the life and work of Jack London, exploring the nature-based themes of pastoralism and wildness, and the role of the adventurer. It also includes viewpoints on the plight of wolves and coyotes in an increasingly disappearing habitat in the modern world.; This series brings together the disciplines of sociology and literature in a unique format designed to support cross-curricular studies. Each volume explores a work of literature through the lens of the major social issue reflected in it, and features carefully-selected content representing a variety of perspectives. All volumes in the series contain biographical and critical information about the author; secondary excerpts offering both historical and contemporary views of the highlighted social issue; a timeline of the author's life; a "For Further Reading" section of other works on the issue; and a detailed subject index.
