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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA prolific writer in his own right, Ford wrote the modernist triumph \u003ci\u003eThe Good Soldier\u003c\/i\u003e (1915) as well as one of the finest war stories in English, the \u003ci\u003eParade's End\u003c\/i\u003e tetralogy (1924–1928).

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.’\u003c\/b\u003e — Lara Feigel, King's College London\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘Saunders firmly places the sometimes elusive Ford Madox Ford at the epicentre 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.’\u003c\/b\u003e — Lisa Appignanesi OBE, writer and novelist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘The analysis is sharp...
