	The Call of the Wild
		For example, The Call of the Wild was published during a period of unprecedented American imperial expansion in the Western hemisphere; but the novel also appeared during a period of intense debate over the influence of French literary Naturalism on English and American fiction.
		The criticism of The Call of the Wild became more diverse in the late 1920’s and 1930’s when it was divided between the biographers, the genteel literary critics who resented London, and the more contemporary critics who incorporated the new paradigmatic and disciplinary techniques of Marxism, American Studies, and psychoanalysis into their work.

	THE CALL OF THE WILD
		In the fall of the year they penetrated a weird lake country, sad and silent, where wild fowl had been, but where then there was no life nor sign of life--only the blowing of chill winds, the forming of ice in sheltered places, and the melancholy rippling of waves on lonely beaches.
		Sometimes he pursued the call into the forest, looking for it as though it were a tangible thing, barking softly or defiantly, as the mood might dictate.
		His cunning was wolf cunning, and wild cunning; his intelligence, shepherd intelligence and St. Bernard intelligence; and all this, plus an experience gained in the fiercest of schools, made him as formidable a creature as any that roamed the wild.

	Call of the Wild Book Notes Summary by Jack London: Plot Summary
		Yet his love for John Thornton is stronger than the call of the wild, pulling him away from the forest periodically, as on one occasion when he befriends a wild wolf, running with him through the trees, and as he runs back to Thornton's camp, the wolf howls mournfully for him to stay.
		A nearby wolf howl captures his ears, and he follows the sound to an approaching wolf pack, battling several of these creatures to prove his worth, and is accepted as one of their own.
		Overall, The Call of the Wild conjures up a lost world, filled with people and place names that were so common at the turn of the twentieth century, but which have since faded away into history, lost and forgotten.

	The Call of the Wild: Chapter Analyses: Chapter 7: The Sounding of the Call - CliffsNotes
		The overwhelming memory which Buck has of this hairy man concerns Buck’s being constantly frightened and, along with the memory of this ape-like figure, is the call of the wild, a call which Buck constantly hears in the forest.
		Employing the philosophy of Naturalism, London is apparently trying to juxtapose the dream of the “ape man” as being symbolic of the primitive element in all humankind; thus, this figure represents a kind of primitive ancestor calling to Buck, imploring him to respond and to return to the call of the wild.
		These scenes are, of course, showing Buck constantly fluctuating between being a part of civilization, as represented by Thornton, and concomitantly, showing the fascinating lure of the “call of the wild,” represented by the baying of wild wolves.
