Ford Madox Ford ([December 17,
1873 –
June 26, 1939) was an English
novelist,
poet,
critic and
Literary editor whose
journals
The English Review and
The Transatlantic Review were instrumental in the development of early 20th-century English-language literature. He is now best remembered for
The Good Soldier (1915) and the
Parade's End tetralogy.
Born
Ford Hermann Hueffer, he was
Ford Madox Hueffer before he finally settled on the name
Ford Madox Ford in honour of his grandfather, the Pre-Raphaelite painter
Ford Madox Brown, whose
biography he had written.
Ford's novels
One of his most famous works is
The Good Soldier (1915), a short novel set just before World War I which chronicles the tragedies of the lives of two "perfect couples" using intricate
flashback (literary technique)s. In a "Dedicatory Letter to Stella Ford” that prefaces the novel, Ford reports that a friend pronounced
The Good Soldier “the finest French novel in the English language!”
Ford also wrote the tetralogy
Parade's End (1924-
1928), set in England and on the
Western Front in World War I, where he served as an officer in the Welch Regiment, a life vividly depicted in the novels.
Both
The Good Soldier and
Parade's End depict the confusion and despair attendant on a long undisturbed English aristocracy upon the arrival of the
20th century. Ford wrote dozens of novels as well as
essays, poetry, memoir, and literary criticism, and collaborated with
Joseph Conrad on two novels,
The Inheritors (
1901) and
Romance (
1903).
His novel
Ladies Whose Bright Eyes (
1911, extensively revised in 1935)Richard A. Cassell, "The Two Sorrells of Ford Madox Ford",in Modern Philology, Vol. 59, No. 2 (Nov., 1961), pp. 114-121 is, in a sense, the reverse of
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Ford's promotion of literature
In
1908, he founded
The English Review, in which he published Thomas Hardy, H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, John Galsworthy, and
William Butler Yeats and gave debuts to Wyndham Lewis, D.H. Lawrence, and
Norman Douglas. In the
1920s, he founded
The Transatlantic Review, a journal with great influence on modern literature. Staying with the artistic community in the Latin Quarter of Paris, France, he made friends with
James Joyce,
Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein,
Ezra Pound, and
Jean Rhys, all of whom he would publish (Ford is the model for the character Braddocks in Hemingway's
The Sun Also Rises). In a later sojourn in the United States, he was involved with
Allen Tate, Caroline Gordon,
Katherine Anne Porter, and Robert Lowell, who was then a student. Despite his deep
Victorian era roots, Ford was always a champion of new literature and literary experimentation.
Ford died in Deauville,
France at the age of 66.
