The Good Soldier

Autor Ford Madox Ford Editat de Max Saunders
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2012
Ford's masterpiece, a riveting story, and one of the most compelling examples of early Modernism, The Good Soldier is here presented in a new edition by one of the leading Ford scholars. Includes Ford's crucial essay 'On Impressionism', written contemporaneously with the novel and which sheds important light on understanding it. Introduction locates the novel as a key work of Modernism, relating it to Ford's other work. It addresses the nature of literary Impressionism, its relationship with the psychological realism of the characters, sexuality, the historical context and attitudes to Englishness. Includes a chronology of the novel's main events. Up-to-date bibliography and notes providing further contextual background. New to this edition Introduction by leading Ford scholar Max Saunders. Notes, chronology, up-to-date bibliography. New chronology of the events in the story. Ford's key essay, 'On Impressionism' in an appendix. Newly set text, using the British first edition. 'This is the saddest story I have ever heard.' Wealthy American John Dowell describes in a disarmingly casual, compellingly intimate manner how he and his wife Florence meet an English couple in a German spa resort. They become friends over the years and gradually the history of their relationships and the passions that lie behind the orderly Edwardian façade are unveiled. Dowell is the archetypal 'unreliable narrator', and his casual revelations are both unexpected and explosive. A masterpiece of early Modernism and a virtuoso performance of literary skill, Ford's 'Tale of Passion' reflects contemporary interests in psychology, sexuality, and the New Woman. Its portrayal of the destruction of a civilized elite anticipates the cataclysm of the First World War, which erupted while Ford was finishing the book. This new edition includes Ford's important essay 'On Impressionism', which sheds valuable light on his artistic technique. Readership: Fiction readers and lovers of Edwardian literature and classic twentieth-century literature; students of the novel, Modernism, fin de siécle.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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.
