London's first-hand engagement with the world-the process of
becoming and maintaining himself as a citizen of the world-helps
define the kind of writing he produced. It is insufficient now to
call him a naturalist writer if his principal concern was to
reflect and represent, not the usual fare of violence and natural
forces that we as literary theorists have used to periodize
London's work, but rather something larger, more indeterminant,
contemporary. The word modern appears often in the pages of this
handbook, and though it is not new to call London a modernist, the
sheer weight of the scholarship in this present volume that attests
to this alternative designation gives it a thorough grounding that
previous attempts lacked. London called his times the Machine Age,
not just to underscore the rapidity of modern life and its new
mechanization, but also to highlight the need for a new social and
economic order. The purpose of this handbook is to honor him as a
representative American writer of the age as he understood it.
