History and Representation in Ford Madox Ford’s Writings explores the idea
of history across various genres: fiction, autobiography, books about places
and cultures, criticism, and poetry. ‘I wanted the Novelist in fact to
appear in his really proud position as historian of his own time’, wrote
Ford. The twenty leading specialists assembled for this volume consider his
writing about twentieth-century events, especially the First World War; and
also his representations of the past, particularly in his fine trilogy about
Henry VIII and Katharine Howard, The Fifth Queen. Ford’s provocative
dealings with the relationship between fiction and history is shown to
anticipate postmodern thinking about historiography and narrative. The
collection includes essays by two acclaimed novelists, Nicholas Delbanco and
Alan Judd, assessing Ford’s grasp of literary history, and his place in it.
