As an editor at the English Review, Ford Madox Ford worked with and often offered aid to writers such as D. H. Lawrence, Ezra Pound, Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, e. e. cummings, and Ernest Hemingway. Within this collection, he recalls the energy of those writers he championed and his efforts as a patron, editor, and friend. These essays demonstrate his skill as both an editor and literary critic. Though it is hard to overstate the impact that Ford Madox Ford has had upon literature of his age, he is easily recognized as a shaping force behind Modernism.
