He was Ford Madox Brown’s first grandchild. When Lucy Madox Brown, Catherine’s sister, married William Rossetti, brother to Dante Gabriel and Christina, two years later, Ford’s relationship to significant literary figures of the day, and to the Pre-Raphaelites, was confirmed. There was money, coming mainly from publishing, on his father’s devoutly Catholic side of the family (based in Münster); unfortunately, very little of it filtered down to Francis, the youngest of seventeen children. Although Ford’s father was an atheist, Ford himself entered the Church in November 1892, follow- ing a visit to his continental relatives. His conversion was important in artistic terms; though his practice was irregular, his struggle with reli- gious belief and the sense of tradition Catholicism bestowed was to ferment in much of his writing. However, his relationship with his pan- European family had a deeper impact on his development: it fostered a belief in a common Western culture. Following Ford’s birth, and his christening as Ford Hermann Hueffer, the Hueffers moved to Hammersmith. Ford’s initial, cosmo- politan, schooling was to suit him well. He boarded at the Praetoriuses’ school at Folkstone, with his younger brother Oliver. The Praetoriuses were from Frankfurt, and French and German were spoken on alter- nate days. But it could be said that Ford’s real and abiding education had started much earlier. From a young age, because of his connec- tions, Ford had been surrounded by what he later called the Victorian, and Pre-Raphaelite, Great Figures. Such figures would visit Madox Brown; the stories of these visits would be told and retold. When 2395 Prelims 7/5/02 8:39 am Page x x Biography-in-brief of Ford Madox Ford coupled with the experience of spending time with the Rossetti chil- dren, as well as the young Edward and Olive Garnett (with whom Ford and his sister Juliet mingled after Richard Garnett was made keeper of printed books at the British Museum in February 1890), the shadow that these figures threw would instil in him a sense of his own inferior- ity that would haunt him throughout his adult life. Francis Hueffer died suddenly in 1889, leaving no money. Ford went with his mother and brother to live at Ford Madox Brown’s home in Primrose Hill, two doors away from that of William and Lucy Rossetti where Juliet was lodged. The bond he formed with his grandfather would prove to be one of the most significant of his life, in personal and in artistic terms (perhaps it provided a model for those other, highly significant, relationships with Joseph Conrad, Arthur Marwood and C. F. G. Masterman). Ford is an exceptionally visual artist, one who depicts scenes and textures, colours and images in his work; this applies to his treatment of time as well as of space. In his essay ‘On Impressionism’, published in 1914, he describes this technique, one that he developed with Conrad after meeting and beginning to collab- orate with him in 1898. Ford left Pretoria House school after the death of his father, but a relationship with a fellow pupil, Elsie Martindale, was to continue. It led to an elopement in March 1894. Elsie’s parents did not approve of Ford, partly because of the Rossetti dalliance with anarchism and his own attendance at socialist meetings at Kelmscott House; more seri- ously, however, he was not thought to be a sound financial prospect. Dr Martindale was not wrong in this opinion of Ford’s earning power; the inability to earn sufficient funds was to dog Ford mercilessly for the next forty years. The only brief respite from financial stresses was to come in New York in the 1920s when, as the acclaimed author of Parade’s End, Ford was fêted, and rewarded, as the great man of letters that he was. Elsie and Ford spent their short honeymoon in Germany, and then settled in the Romney Marsh area of southern Kent – their geographi- cal locus for the next ten years. Significantly for Ford’s life as a writer, the area also laid claim to Henry James, Stephen Crane, Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells. Ford would never lose his love of the country and his sense of the healing power of rural existence. After the war (in which he was an officer, a second lieutentant, with the Welch Regiment), suffer- ing from shell-shock, his instinct would take him back there, to grow vegetables at Red Ford in West Sussex and allow the ghosts of the 2395 Prelims 7/5/02 8:39 am Page xi Biography-in-brief of Ford Madox Ford xi previous four years to do their worst. (It was after the war, in 1919, that he changed his name to Ford Madox Ford.) For the time being, though, his energies were taken up with trying to earn a living by his pen, a task that was made easier in some senses, and more challenging in others, when Edward Garnett brought Conrad to call. Despite Conrad’s seniority (he was 41, Ford was 24), he suggested collaboration. Though the novels that they produced do not seem adequately to describe the sum of their two parts, Ford learnt much of his craft from this difficult, admirable, demanding and great writer. Their relationship wasn’t easy (they broke with one another in 1909 – Ford still published Conrad’s biography in 1924), and nor was Ford’s with Henry James.

  • The Sound of Ford Madox Ford: War-Time, Impressionism, and Narrative Form
    The Sound of Ford Madox Ford: War-Time, Impressionism, and Narrative Form Rachel Kyne ELH, Volume 87, Number 1, Spring 2020, pp. 211-244 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/elh.2020.0007 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/751744 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] THE SOUND OF FORD MADOX FORD: WAR-TIME, IMPRESSIONISM, AND NARRATIVE FORM BY RACHEL KYNE “It is rather curious, the extra senses one develops here,” Ford Madox Ford wrote to Lucy Masterman in August 1916 from the Ypres Salient.1 “I sit writing in the twilight &, even as I write, I hear the shells whine & the M. G.’s [machine guns] crepitate & I see (tho’ it is hidden by a hill), the grey, flat land below & the shells bursting. Thanks so very much for the Echo de Paris.”2 Musing on the coexistence of the sounds of war and the activity of writing, Ford inadvertently slips from the audible landscape of the front to the literary Echo of the page. Ford’s experience of war sounds in the summer of 1916 awakened him to the literary possibilities of an auditory impressionism. Between mid-July and mid-September 1916, he was deployed to France, partici- pated in his first active combat at the Battle of the Somme, suffered a concussion caused by an exploding shell, lost his memory for three weeks, returned to his battalion in the Ypres Salient with a renewed devotion to capturing the war in writing, and suffered a second collapse attributed to

  • Bowen Abstract
    The Rise and Fall of the Bass Clarinet in A Keith Bowen The bass clarinet in A was introduced by Wagner in Lohengrin in 1848. It was used up to 1990 in about sixty works by over twenty composers, including the Ring cycle, five Mahler symphonies and Rosenkavalier. But it last appeared in Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie (1948, revised 1990), and the instrument is generally regarded as obsolete.1 Several publications discuss the bass clarinet, notably Rice (2009). However, only Leeson2 and Joppig3 seriously discuss the ‘A’ instrument. Leeson suggests possibilities for its popularity: compatibility with the tonality of the soprano clarinets, the extra semitone at the bottom of the range and the sonority of the instrument. For its disappearance he posits the extension of range of the B¨ bass, and the convenience of having only one instrument. He suggests that its history is more likely to be found in the German than in the French bass clarinet tradition. Joppig examines one aspect of this tradition: Mahler’s use of the clarinet family. The first successful4 bass clarinet was the bassoon form, invented by Grenser in 1793 and made in quantity for almost a century. These instruments descended to at least C and had sufficient range for all parts for the bass clarinet in A.5 They were made in B¨ and C, but no examples in A are known so far. Their main use was in wind bands to provide a more powerful bass than the bassoon.6 For orchestral music, they were perceived to be only partially successful as bass for the clarinet family because of their different principle of construction.7 The modern form was invented by Desfontenelles in 1807 and improved by Buffet (1833) and Adolphe Sax (1838).

  • Making the New: Literary Periodicals and the Construction of Modernism
    Making the New: Literary Periodicals and the Construction of Modernism Peter Marks University of Sydney We are told that we live in a postmodernworld, experiencing unprecedented innovations, delights, and anxieties. Rather than rehearse these here, I want initially to touch brieflyon one theoretical attempt to make sense of this condition, one that definesPostmodernism in relation to its presumed antecedent, Modernism. I want to use this as a way of questioning the "monumental" view of literary Modernism, in which a massive landscape abounds with canonical texts carved by mythical giants: Joyce, Eliot, Woolf, Pound, Stein-the usual suspects. I do this by considering the role of literary periodicals in the construction, production, and initial reception of those texts. The later part of this discussion focuses on transition, the Paris-based journal of the 1920s and 1930s whose aspirations, pretensions, vigor and perilous existence typify the complex forces in play. I emphasize the point that while indi­ vidual periodicals consciously adopted distinct identities, they need to be understood collectively forthe vital functionsthey performed: they printed avant-garde work as well as advanced criticism and theory; acted as nurseries for experimental young writers, and as platformsfor the already-established; forged and maintained interna­ tional links between writers and groups; provided avant-garde writers with sophisti­ cated readers, and vice versa; and maintained an ipteractiveplurality of cultural dis­ course. Alive with the energy of experimentation, they register the fertile, complex, yet intriguingly tentative development of modem literature. In his inquisitive and provocative work, ThePostmodern Turn, lhab Hassan moves towards a concept of postmodernism by constructing a table of "certain schematic differences from modernism" (91).

  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

  • Ford Madox Ford
    FORD MADOX FORD The view Ford attributes to Conrad was surely his own ­­ "every work of art has ­­ must have ­­ a profound moral purpose." "This is the saddest story I have ever heard." With this haunting sentence Ford Madox Ford began what he always considered his best novel, The Good Soldier. One of his biographers considered Ford's the saddest story, and used the phrase as the title of his life of the writer. He lived from 1873 to 1939, published over eighty books, knew everyone. His grandfather was a painter, his father a musicologist, he was related by marriage to the Rossettis, Dante and Christina, he was raised in the atmosphere of Victorian and pre­Raphaelite art, he published his first book at the age of eighteen. Ford colloborated with Joseph Conrad on several novels when the Polish born author was unsure of his command of English. But, as the memoir Ford wrote in the year of Conrad's death makes clear, it was the technique of fiction that fascinated the two men. A story should read the way it would sound if told by a good storyteller ­­ that was their shared theory.. Later Conrad novels have as their distinctive trait the narrative voice of one who, over a bottle, is recalling the events of the story. This technique called for a progression quite different from the chronological.

Doyle ABSTRACT Although it is now widely accepted that the Modern British novel is grounded in Romantic literary practice and ontological principles, Ford Madox Ford is often not regarded as a significant practitioner of (and proselytizer for) the new prose aesthetic that came into being near the start of the twentieth century. This dissertation argues that Ford very consciously strove to break away from the precepts that had informed the traditional novel, aiming instead for a non- didactic, autotelic art form that in many ways is akin to the anti-neoclassical art of the British High Romantic poets. Ford felt that the purpose of literature is to bring a reader into a keener apprehension of all that lies latent in the individual sell?— a capacity that he felt had atrophied in a rational, rule-abiding, industrialized culture.
