The controversial British writer Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) is increasingly
recognized as a major presence in early twentieth-century literature.
	He 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’; and Samuel Hynes
has called ‘the greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman’.
	This new series, International Ford Madox Ford Studies, has been founded to
reflect the recent resurgence of interest in Ford’s life and work. Each
volume will normally be based upon a particular theme or issue. Each will
relate aspects of Ford’s work, life, and contacts, to broader concerns of
his time.
	Ford Madox Ford’s Modernity explores the relation between modern writing
and modern experience. It examines how his prose registers the impact on
society and the arts of new technologies, such as railways and telephones.
It demonstrates how Ford’s writing reflects, and elaborates, new conceptions
of subjectivity, gender, nation and empire. And it establishes his
contribution to the growing sense of crisis in the fields of history,
epistemology, and representation. It includes essays by twenty leading Ford
scholars on a wide range of his fiction and criticism, giving particular
attention to The Good Soldier and to his responses to modern war.
