Author Under Sail offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer. Jay Williams 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 three-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 theatricality and the representation of the seen and the unseen.

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.

Not as expected.
Color: Black, Size: Large
I don’t usually do reviews but I need to for this. I’m a size medium. And everything I order in medium fits well. Not tight. But well. So I’m at first ordered this set medium size and the pants were ok. Not tight but just. The vest and jacket didn’t fit. Vest was 4 inches from closing and jacket 2 inches from closing. So I went base on the chart description from the images. Nope. So I said ok maybe I should size up. So I returned the medium set and order the large set. Well you guessed it. Still don’t fit. Now the pants were loose and long. The vest was 2 inches from closing and the jacket 1 inch from closing and the sleeves were very long. Of coarse because when you size up, everything sizes up. So no way I was going to get a XL. Not happy with this set. I don’t think the sizes are right. I know every body is different. But for me it didn’t work. I did find a different brand similar to this and I just got it today and wow. Pant. Jacket. Vest for very well just as it should on a medium. So this is why I’m doing a review for this. The quality is good. I would give it a 1 start but I’m not that mean. Anyways just letting you know what to expect. I’m not going to mention the other brand I found here. But just like I did my searching you can too. Bye.

Disappointed Customer

It was to large but it was for his prom but we still had to use. Measure did add up to his exact size. Didn’t have time to send it back.
