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.

Ford Madox Ford, born Ford Hermann Hueffer, was born in 1873 in Surrey, England. He collaborated with Joseph Conrad on The Inheritors and other books, and prolifically published poetry, criticism, and fiction throughout his lifetime. He founded the English Review in 1908 and later edited the Transatlantic Review, publishing Joyce, Hemingway, and Pound, among others. He died in 1939. Max Saunders is Professor of English at King's College London, where he teaches nineteenth- and twentieth-century British, American and European literature. He is the author of the two-volume Ford Madox Ford: A Dual Life and the editor of Ford's Selected Poems and War Prose, also available from NYU Press. Richard Stang is professor emeritus of Washington University in St. Louis. His books include The Theory of the Novel in England and Discussions of George Eliot.

"This collection contains more unexpected fun, more delighted, chatty wisdom, than any other book of criticism you could think of." -The Guardian "In Critical Essays, a new selection of Ford's previously uncollected writings on literature and art, there are sweeping dicta aplenty." -The American Scholar "If there is any English critic worth reading on Modernism it is Ford Madox Ford, whose Critical Essays remind us that he was one of the first to admire Joyce's Ulysses and one of the bravest to argue with E.M. Forster." -The Times (London)
