Among his many works, White Fang has attracted great attention in academic field since it was published in 1906. Many of Jack London’s novels are influenced by Darwin’s popular ideas, particularly White Fang. Corpus linguistics is a newly appeared subject. The corpus software has various functions such as concordance, sampling, analysis and statistics, which can provide important rational basis in analyzing literary works. This paper attempts to study the theme White Fang and aims at exploring Jack London’s interpretation of Darwin's Evolution theory in White Fang by applying corpus retrieval software.
