He was also an innovative and influential poet, as well as the century's greatest literary editor. In this first volume of a two-volume life Saunders examines Ford's growth and development as a writer, against the background of an often turbulent emotional life. He uses newly discovered writings and letters to ensure the most exhaustive synthesis of critical and biographical research. The second volume of Saunder's biography takes up the story in 1916, when Ford enlisted in the army, and follows him through post-war Europe to his death in 1939. During this period, Ford solidified his canonical status in modern literature. Saunders analyzes Ford's post-war masterpiece, Parade's End, and describes the founding of the Transatlantic Review, the influential literary journal that published Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Picasso, and many more major writers and artists.
