Forster." --"The Times" (London) "This collection contains more unexpected fun, more delighted, chatty wisdom, than any other book of criticism you could think of." "In "Critical Essays," a new selection of Ford's previously uncollected writings on literature and art, there are sweeping dicta aplenty." Critical Essays showcases a critic whom Ezra Pound called in 1914, "the best critic in England, one might say the only critic of any importance." This volume provides access to the best of Ford Madox Ford's essays. The essays are arranged chronologically and span nearly forty years--covering most of Ford's writing life. Saunders and Stang have included essays, literary portraits, and book reviews that Ford published in the "English Review," "The Tribune," "The Bystander," "The Outlook," "Piccadilly Review," the "Transatlantic Review," and the "Chicago Tribune Sunday Magazine," among other places. |
