"This book will be of use to those both studying and researching the period. It provides useful definitions of key terms, and, with well-chosen comparator texts, offers a new critical framework for reading Ford and his companion misfit moderns." (Dr Sara Haslam, The Open University, UK)

Ford Madox Ford is a major modernist writer, yet many of his works do not conform to our assumptions about modernism. Examining ways in which he, alongside other 'misfit moderns', undermines 'stabilities' we expect from novels and memoirs, this book poses questions about the nature of narrative and the distinction between modernism and modernity.
