Описание: The controversial British writer Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) is increasingly recognized as a major presence in early twentieth-century literature. This series of International Ford Madox Ford Studies was founded to reflect the recent resurgence of interest in him. Each volume is based upon a particular theme or issue; and relates aspects of Ford’s work, life, and contacts, to broader concerns of his time. Ford is best-known for his fiction, especially The Good Soldier, long considered a modernist masterpiece; and Parade’s End, which Anthony Burgess described as ‘the finest novel about the First World War’, Samuel Hynes has called ‘the greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman’, and which has been adapted by Tom Stoppard for the acclaimed BBC/HBO television series.This volume focuses on Ford’s work from the Edwardian decade and a half before the First World War. It contains Michael Schmidt’s Ford Madox Ford Lecture, and fourteen other essays by British, American, French and German experts, both leading authorities and younger scholars. Chapters on Ford’s fiction, poetry, criticism of literature and painting, writing about England, and dealings on the Edwardian literary scene as editor and with publishers, bring out his versatility and ingenuity throughout his first major creative phase.
With its new innovations in the visual arts, cinema and photography as well as the sciences of memory and perception, the early twentieth century saw a crisis in the relationship between what was seen and what was known. Literary Impressionism charts that modernist crisis of vision and the way that literary impressionists such as Dorothy Richardson, Ford Madox Ford, H.D., and May Sinclair used new concepts of memory in order to bridge the gap between perception and representation.
Exploring the fiction of these four major writers as well as their journalism, manifesto writings, letters and diaries from the archives, Rebecca Bowler charts the progression of modernism's literary aesthetics and the changing role of memory within it.

Описание: Kat Howard-intelligent, beautiful, naively outspoken, and passionately idealistic-catches the eye of Henry VIII and improbably becomes his fifth wife. A teenager who has grown up far from court, she is wholly unused to the corruption and intrigue that now surround her. It is a time of great upheaval, as unscrupulous courtiers maneuver for power while religious fanatics-both Protestant and Catholic-fight bitterly for their competing beliefs. Soon Katharine is drawn into a perilous showdown with Thomas Cromwell, the much-feared Lord Privy Seal, as her growing influence over the King begins to threaten too many powerful interests.

Описание: With his acclaimed masterpiece Parade's End, Ford Madox Ford set himself a work of immense scale and ambition: "I wanted the Novelist in fact to appear in his really proud position as historian of his own time... The 'subject' was the world as it culminated in the war." Published in four parts between 1924 and 1928, his extraordinary novel centers on Christopher Tietjens, an officer and a gentleman - "the last English Tory"-and follows him from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the First World War. Against the backdrop of a world at war, Ford recounts the complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife, Sylvia. A work of truly amazing subtlety and profundity, Parade's End affirms Graham Greene's prediction: "There is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford."

Описание: "The Shifting Of The Fire," with its charming cover, its perfect type and paper, its accessories of decoration, reminds us of a banquet-table whither, being summoned with great ceremony, we have come with eager expectation. We find the table covered with finest damask and glittering with splendor that delights the eye; the host a man of culture; the menu a triumph; the guests the favored few of mind and beauty. One by one the dishes are placed before us, one by one we taste their contents. They are fair in appearance, yet each one we put aside with disappointment; for they lack that distinctive flavor so pleasantly suggested by their names. So it is with Mr. H. Ford Hueffer's story. An attempt to portray various workings of all-conquering love, and of malicious cruelty, it has succeeded merely in revealing to us the author's intentions, which, we will acknowledge, are of the best and most ambitious. The story is this: -A young man of wealth loved a girl and expected soon to marry her. On her nineteenth birthday he made her a present of a little sealed bottle of a most dangerous poison, which he had just succeeded in perfecting after five years of study. The following day he was suddenly called away by the failure of the business house through which he derived his immense income. After he became poor, the girl's parents refusing to permit their marriage, she planned to acquire, in the two years before she attained her majority, a large fortune for her lover's sake. To do this, she married a fabulously rich old man, who alluringly mentioned to her that he had but two years to live. To keep her lover ignorant of the whole proceeding, she exacted a promise from him that he would not see her or even inquire after her for two years. He learned of her marriage shortly before the old man came into the neighborhood where he had set up as a physician. It was part of the husband's malice to bring his wife and her early lover together, and watch the display of human suffering. Here the old man died, under circumstances that, the hero thought, pointed to poison-his poison, the properties of which he alone knew, and which he supposed, the tortured girl had administered, being unable longer to endure living with the cruel old man. Even the innocence of her demeanor and the perfect peace of mind that took possession of her did not undeceive him, and soon after, under this belief, he married her, loving her with a passion that would share her moral stain and a tenderness that would repay her for the sacrifice she had so fanatically made for him. Greater love than this is rarely found. It is the burden of Mr. Hueffer's tale, but he has failed to make us feel it through his characters, which seem to us unreal and out of drawing. The book is dedicated to the author's grandfather, Ford Maddox Brown, the forerunner of Pre-Raphaelite art in England. It may be this association, or it may be something inherent in the book itself, when all is said in favor of its English, its originality and its finished handling, that makes it remain in the mind as a fine piece of decorative fiction.--"The Critic: An Illustrated Monthly Review of Literature," Vol. 22

Описание: At the fashionable German spa town Bad Nauheim, two wealthy, fin de siecle couples - one British, the other American - meet for their yearly assignation. As their story moves back and forth in time between 1902 and 1914, the fragile surface propriety of the pre - World War I society in which these four characters live is ruptured - revealing deceit, hatred, infidelity, and betrayal. "The Good Soldier" is Edward Ashburnham, who, as an adherent to the moral code of the English upper class, is nonetheless consumed by a passion for women younger than his wife - a stoic but fallible figure in what his American friend, John Dowell, calls "the saddest story I ever heard."
