Description

Author of over seventy books, including novels, poems, criticism, travel essays, and memoirs, Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) led a troubled yet vibrant life that shaped and was shaped by his writing. Thomas Moser both identifies and celebrates this reciprocity in a blend of biography, psychology, and literary criticism.

Originally published in 1981.
