Abstract:

Jack London went down in literary history as a versatile and colourful author. Having drawn from his abundant biography (London was preoccupied with journalism, pouching and gold digging, among others), he became a prominent representative of the "adventurous Romanticism". Critics and readers have also acknowledged and appreciated his considerable input into the tradition of storting writing, as he frequently contextualized the dilemmas he explored in the sporting terrain. ; The main aim of the article is to present how London shapes various identities of his characters through sporting and outdoor activities. It is valuable to demonstrate how sports and outdoor experience, seemingly a trivial and common element of human existence, becomes crucial in the process of developing one`s ethnicity, nationality, female and various forms of cultural belonging. The material selected for analysis constitutes three titles: "A Royal Sport" from "The Cruise of the Snark" (1911), "On the Makaloa Mat" (1919) and "The Mexican" (1911).
