Features new critical essays illuminate Ford Madox Ford's First
World War modernist masterpiece Parade's End. This is the first
full length critical study of Parade's End to focus on the
psychological effects of the war. Originally published in 4 volumes
between 1924 and 1928, Parade's End has been described as "the
finest novel about the First World War." (Anthony Burgess). "the
greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman." (Samuel Hynes).
"a central Modernist novel of the 1920s, in which it is exemplary."
(Malcolm Bradbury). "possibly the greatest 20th century novel in
English." (John N. Gray). These 10 newly commissioned essays focus
on the psychological effects of the war, both upon Ford himself and
upon his novel: its characters, its themes and its form. The
chapters explore: Ford's pioneering analysis of war trauma, trauma
theory, shell shock, memory and repression, insomnia, empathy,
therapy, literary Impressionism and literary style. Writers
discussed alongside Ford include Joseph Conrad, Siegfried Sassoon,
May Sinclair, and Rebecca West, as well as theorists Deleuze and
Guattari, Michel Foucault, Sigmund Freud, William James, and W H R
Rivers.A long overdue examination of Ford's First World War
modernist masterpiece Parade's End. It focuses on psychology and
the effects of war on the minds of those who fought and those at
home; adds to writing about First World War writers, war trauma and
trauma theory as well as modernism, and literary Impressionism and
contributes to the burgeoning fields of medical humanities and
disability studies by reconsidering Parade's End in terms of the
various mental and psychological disorders represented within its
pages.
