'Fragmenting modernism' is about Ford Madox Ford, a hero of the
modernist literary revolution. Ford is a fascinating and
fundamental figure of the time; not only because as a friend and
critic of Ezra Pound and Joseph Conrad, editor of the 'English
Review', and author of 'The Good Soldier', he shaped the
development of literary modernism. But as the grandson of Ford
Madox Brown, and son of a German music critic, he also manifested
formative links with mainland European culture and the visual arts.
In Ford there is the chance to explore continuity in artistic life
at the turn of the century, as well as the more commonly identified
pattern of crisis in the time. The argument throughout is that
modernism possesses more than one face. Setting Ford in his
cultural and historical context, the opening chapter debates the
concept of fragmentation in modernism; later chapters discuss the
notion of the personal narrative, and war writing. Ford's literary
technique is studied comparatively, and plot summaries of his major
books ('The Good Soldier' and 'Parade's End') are provided, as is a
brief biography. 'Fragmenting Modernism' will be useful for anyone
studying the literature of the early twentieth century,
impressionism or modernism in general terms, as well as for those
who seek to investigate in detail one of the great polymorphous
figures of the time. -- .
