From the supplier: Jack London's 1904 novel 'The Sea-Wolf' deals with the position of the artist in society. London also redefines gender roles during the narrative about Humphrey Van Weyden's emergence as a representative man. The novel is interesting in that it endorses and subverts patriarchal notions simultaneously. The story of Maud Brewster making a successful living as a writer serves to challenge traditional notions about the non-utilitarian nature of writing and about women's engagement in productive work.
