    Ford Madox Ford's greatest book, The Good Soldier, is considered a masterpiece for its use of an unreliable narrator who describes the tangled life of two couples. It seems Ford, born Ford Hermann Hueffer, exhibited traits of unreliability himself. As Max Saunders describes it, Ford often was "dishonest in matters of large change." In this scholarly, 632-page work, Saunders doesn't so much attempt to set the record straight on Ford as he does to defend the writer's actions as central to his life and his style. "In all of Ford's writing, make-believe is inseparable from reminiscence," Saunders writes.

  • Product Description

    Ford Madox Ford wrote some of the best English prose of the twentieth century, mastering and metamorphosing all its major forms. He was also an innovative and influential poet, as well as the century's greatest literary editor. In this first volume of a two-volume life Saunders examines Ford's growth and development as a writer, against the background of an often turbulent emotional life. He uses newly discovered writings and letters to ensure the most exhaustive synthesis of critical and biographical research.
