Beskrivning
The first American surrealist poet, a prolific literary editor and a seminal influence on the New York School of poetry, Charles Henri Ford was a key figure in the transition from late modernist to postmodern culture in America. Charles Henri Ford: Between Modernism and Postmodernism is the first book-length scholarly study of this important literary figure. Drawing on new archival research – including explorations of Ford’s correspondence with the likes of Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Parker Tyler, and many others – the book explores the full impact of Ford’s contribution to 20th-century American literary culture.

Recensioner i media

Alexander Howard’s pathbreaking study of the life and work of the sadly neglected Charles Henri Ford is much more than a simple recuperation of lost value. It dextrously navigates the categorial coral reefs growing up over the wrecks of modernism and postmodernism both, and establishes some eye-opening passages between and among them, where the reef-fish teem and school. Howard’s Ford is a multiform experimentalist, queer icon, regional surrealist, late-modernist mentor, and sociable internationalist, who tirelessly offered his ‘torsional’ character to those movements and causes that could use his energy. His longevity turns out to be a key to the broken clocks of modernity, with which he tinkered and played in an amazing series of works to which we now have the most reliable guide.
