Full Description
For the centenary of Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier (1915), this volume originally re-examines some well-known issues surrounding the text and its "mad about writing" author: the Conrad-Ford friendship and literary collaboration; Modernist agenda(s) and Impressionist techniques; genre innovations and philosophical questions. The dialogue between established and young Ford scholars produces a challenging kaleidoscope of insights into the work of this controversial English writer and his perennial novel.
