The author was born in 1873 and this book was the first success for Ford, after a period – it is said – of collaboration with Joseph Conrad. Published in 1905 the prose has surprisingly dated and it hardly a thrilling read, and I would have abandoned it if there were not detectable echoes of the ‘voice’ Ford eventually found for his cycle of Parades End (http://www.librarything.com/work/18089) which did and does thrill. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In The Soul of London (1905) Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) gives a vivid impression of the excitement and challenge of the greatest city of modern times.In its evocation of the growth of London over the centuries and the bewildering variety of the city scene by day and night, the glamour and frivolity of its 'high' life and the hardship and endurance of its working people The Soul of London displays a stylishness and humanity which make it a work of imaginative literature and not a guide book. It is also a prophetic survey of the way modernsociety was developing, and foreshadows the social isolation, anonymity and alienation which were to transform the forms and substance of literature in the twentieth century.
