Autorenporträt
Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939), born Ford Hermann Hueffer, was a prolific English novelist, poet, critic, and editor. His literary contributions encompass an expansive range, from historical fiction to literary theory. Among Ford's most acclaimed works is the historical novel 'The Fifth Queen' (1906-1908), a trilogy that vividly explores the life of Katharine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII. Ford's narrative in this trilogy is acclaimed for its detailed portrayal of the Tudor court and the complex interplay of power, ambition, and religion. Noted for his experimental style, Ford's storytelling often blurred fiction with reality, an approach which culminated influentially in his most famous work 'The Good Soldier' (1915), a novel that demonstrated the complexity of human relationships through its non-linear structure and unreliable narrative. Ford's impact on the literary world extends beyond his own writing; he famously collaborated with Joseph Conrad and founded the literary journal 'The English Review', which published works of emerging talents such as D.H. Lawrence and Ezra Pound. His editorial acumen and mentorship of younger authors have cemented Ford's legacy as a key figure in shaping early 20th-century literature. Overall, Ford's authorial voice reflects a keen insight into the human condition and a mastery of literary form, rendering him a central figure in the transition from Victorian to modernist literature.
