Julian Barnes Review from previous edition Review from previous edition Max Saunders knows more about Ford Madox Ford than any other living person. He also understands him better than anyone else. His scrupulous and passionate biography will never be superseded.


Times Literary Supplement magisterial biography ... It is a work of exemplary erudition, critical intelligence and sympathy.

Ian McIntyre, The Times This is an outstanding Life and a major contribution to literary scholarship. This biography releases him from the casualty clearing stations in which he has been detained for so long and restores him to active literary service.

Miranda Seymour, The Independent Saunders has produced a fine critical life which will be invaluable for all students of Ford's work and influence ... he has done a magnificent service to his subject in his thoughtful analysis of Ford's great tetralogy, Parade's End ... Saunders has produced a valuable academic work. Thoughtful, lucid and scrupulously objective, he restores Ford to us as a brilliant, much-maligned man - and a major literary figure.

Adrian Wright, The Literary Review Saunders has made a remarkable tribute to his subject, and his subject is irresistible.

John Sutherland, The Sunday Times it is admirable that OUP decided to give Saunders a full-sized canvas to work on ... he makes excellent use of it ... This is the account to which all students of Ford will turn first. A main attraction of this majestically complete, balanced and well-written biography is the lavish quotation. This is a life which makes one want to go back to read, and re-read, Ford's works.

The Times Higher Education Supplement definitive and ample biography ... Ford Madox Ford: A Dual Life is both meticulous to a fault and bright with insight

The Guardian Saunders's book is a serious and valuable interpretation which enables us to look at Ford's dual life with much greater complexity.

Miranda Seymour, The Sunday Times No admirer of Ford Madox Ford will want to miss Max Saunders's two-volume ... about this extraordinary and complicated man. Saunders triumphantly establishes him as one of the most generous and influential figures of his time.

Miranda Seymour, The Independent persuasive and immensely authoritative account of a man who has, for far too long, been overshadowed by his bitchy and thankless protgs

The Economist Mr Saunders meets the challenge through his remorseless scholarship. In a sense, his two volumes are a lesson in anatomy, with the literary surgeon taking justifiable pride in his skill with the scalpel and delighting in the exposure of that particular sinew, that particular nerve ... no one wishing to understand Ford dare ignore his probings.

Alan Judd, The Daily Telegraph The second, concluding volume of Max Saunders's magisterial biography of Ford Madox Ford amply fulfils the promise of the first. Max Saunders probably knows as much as ...
