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. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
