| Summary: | Brandt brings his expertise on evolutionary psychology to bear on London's work, producing original and convincing readings of London's representation of nature. In making and then substantiating these claims with close reading and insights gleaned from evolutionary psychology, Brandt not only provides original analysis but also shows that it is possible to write an introductory guide that is scholarly enough to advance knowledge itself. More importantly than this biographical question, many of his books, including The Sea Wolf, London's tramp writings, and his Pacific short stories, contain descriptions of male characters that border on, and often tip over into, the homoerotic. |
