Ford Madox Ford: Critical Lives
Autor Max Saundersen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2023
Ford Madox Ford (1873–1939) lived among several of the most important artists and writers of his time. Raised by Pre-Raphaelites and friends with Henry James, H. G. Wells, and Joseph Conrad, Ford was a leading figure of the avant-garde in pre-WWI London, responsible for publishing Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and D. H. Lawrence. After the war, he moved to Paris, published Gertrude Stein, and discovered Ernest Hemingway. A prolific writer in his own right, Ford wrote the modernist triumph The Good Soldier (1915) as well as one of the finest war stories in English, the Parade’s End tetralogy (1924–1928). Drawing on newly discovered letters and photographs, this critical biography further demonstrates Ford’s vital contribution to modern fiction, poetry, and criticism.

Recenzii
"A model for what a short biography can be: well-paced, sure-footed at the task of navigating the writer’s vast corpus to concentrate on high points."
"The analysis is sharp . . . [and] testifies to the talents of a literary master of the modernist era."
"The good news here is that there is only good news. To his authoritative two-volume biography of Ford Madox Ford (1996) - Max Saunders has now added a brief and timely 'critical life'. This crisp book, both scholarly and accessible, is perfect for students and jaded ephebes alike . . . The book adds newly discovered archival material (notably the loving, happy letters between Ford and Janice Biala, his shrewd and cheerful final partner) and focuses with renewed emphasis on Ford as a critic . . . Saunders [is] a reliable guide to Ford’s diligent, conscious craft – and to his remarkable life."
“As Saunders deftly illustrates in this assured study, Ford was constantly evolving.”
"Saunders captures both the boldness and anxiety that fueled the life and work of a literary giant. Biography is as much an art as poetry or fiction; of course one must use facts or particulars as a starting point. But the subtlety of description, analysis, and interpretation infuse the material with values — ethereal and metaphysical — that rise above the prosaic."
"We need this subtle, astute, witty and insightful biography of one of the major writers of the twentieth century. Saunders is passionate about Ford’s writing and guides us through his novels with masterful panache. Ford emerges as a man deeply enmeshed in the artistic currents of his times but always divided against himself, living perilously across epochs as he turned impressions into truths."
"\Saunders firmly places the sometimes elusive Ford Madox Ford at the epicenter of British modernism. In so doing, he has not only written a scintillating and intimate life of a key literary figure and his work but given us a panorama of the greats that peopled his epoch. This is the best kind of biography: astute, erudite, and eminently readable."
"Saunders is the doyen of Ford scholars, and this new biography serves to enhance that reputation. It not only untangles the intellectual complexities behind the work of a major British Modernist, but adds a layer of cutting-edge research. The recent discovery of a cache of letters between Ford and his last partner, the painter Janice Biala, provides new evidence to analyze his 'politics.' What emerges is an image of a thoroughly modern, apolitical feminist and 'Green', self-reflexive in his thinking, a postmodern writer long before postmodernism became fashionable.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The first volume of a major new critical biography Ford Madox Ford wrote some of the best English prose of the twentieth century, mastering and metamorphosing all its major forms: the novel, literary criticism, travel writing, even historical and cultural discourse. He was also an innovative and influential poet, as well as the century's greatest literary editor. He collaborated with Joseph Conrad, and advised Ezra Pound; his admirers include novelists as diverse as Sinclair Lewis, Jean Rhys, Graham Greene, Anthony Burgess and Gore Vidal. This first volume of a two-volume life takes Ford from his birth as Ford Hermann Hueffer in 1873 to the eve of his departure for France, and war, in 1916. It charts his growth and development as a writer of great complexity, first with the trilogy The Fifth Queen and culminating in his masterpiece The Good Soldier. It also examines his turbulent emotional life, from his elopement and marriage to Elsie Martindale in 1894 to his affair with Violet Hunt in the same year that he founded The English Review. Ford said that a writer's life is 'a dual affair', a life enshrined in the writing and Max Saunders's aim is to examine the interconnections between the private and the public life, and the inner life that drove him. The discovery of new manuscripts, and of letters unavailable to previous biographers ensure that this is the most important and exhaustive critical biography of Ford to appear in the last twenty years.
