Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) was a prominent English author and editor, known for his significant contributions to 20th-century literature. His works span various genres, including novels, short stories, and essays, and he is particularly renowned for his innovative narrative techniques and deep exploration of character and society. Some of notable works are "The Good Soldier" (1915): Perhaps his most famous work, this novel is celebrated for its innovative narrative style and exploration of themes such as deception and betrayal. It is often regarded as a classic of modernist literature. "Parade's End" (1924-1928): A tetralogy that includes "Some Do Not," "No More Parades," "A Man Could Stand Up," and "Last Post." This series is noted for its portrayal of the impact of World War I on British society and its sophisticated narrative technique. "The Fifth Queen" (1906): A historical novel set in the Tudor period, showcasing Ford's ability to blend historical detail with imaginative storytelling. "The Queen Who Flew: A Fairy Tale" (1936): A departure from his more serious works, this fairy tale highlights his versatility and ability to engage with different genres. Ford Madox Ford's innovative approach to narrative and his exploration of modernist themes have left a lasting impact on literature. Despite facing some challenges in his later years, Ford's contributions to literature have cemented his place as a significant figure in 20th-century English literature. He passed away on June 26, 1939, but his legacy endures through his influential and thought-provoking writing.

Recenzii

One of the most important works of twentieth-century British literature, The Good Soldier addresses the lives and interrelationships between two couples: one American, one British. A tragicomic novel of manners, in which John Dowell narrates the disintegration of both his own and another marriage, the work’s depiction of passion and intrigue offers an ironic reading of Edwardian-era values.
The Broadview edition features the text of the first edition of the novel published by John Lane and The Bodley Head in 1915. It also includes: other writings by Ford Madox Ford (“On Heaven,” excerpts from Henry James: A Critical Study, “On Impressionism,” and “Techniques”); contemporary reviews; and Ezra Pound’s obituary of Ford Madox Ford.

“It is excellent to see a Broadview edition of this seminal modernist work. ‘On Heaven’ is an inspired choice for an appendix, as is the extract from Henry James: A Critical Study, which will enable the reader to trace Ford’s application of his critical analyses. Biography, textual analysis, contemporary response—they’re all here. The reader of this edition is well-equipped for satisfying engagement with Ford’s great novel.” — Sara Haslam, Open University
