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

Notă biografică

Ford Madox Ford, born Joseph Leopold Ford Hermann Madox Hueffer in 1873, was an English novelist, poet, and critic. He grew up in a culturally rich household, influenced by his grandfather, the Pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown. His exposure to the arts shaped his literary style, which blended modernist experimentation with deep psychological insight.In 1908, he founded The English Review, publishing works by major writers like Thomas Hardy and H.G. Wells while promoting emerging voices like D.H. Lawrence. His editorial work played a crucial role in shaping early 20th-century literature. Ford also collaborated closely with Joseph Conrad, co-writing novels that experimented with form and narrative perspective.His most famous work, The Good Soldier (1915), pioneered the use of unreliable narration, while his Parade's End tetralogy (1924-1928) offered a powerful critique of World War I. His writing explored themes of memory, disillusionment, and shifting social values. Today, he remains a key figure in modernist literature, influencing generations of writers.
