The Mitterrand Era: Policy Alternatives and Political Mobilization in France

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Review Quotes:"If there is any English critic worth reading on Modernism it is Ford Madox Ford, whose "Critical Essays" remind us that he was one of the first to admire Joyce's "Ulysses" and one of the bravest to argue with E. M. Forster."-"The Times" (London), Review Quotes:"In "Critical Essays", a new selection of Ford's previously uncollected writings on literature and art, there are sweeping dicta aplenty."-"The American Scholar", Review Quotes:"This collection contains more unexpected fun, more delighted, chatty wisdom, than any other book of criticism you could think of."-"The Guardian", Contributor Bio:  Ford, Ford Madox Ford Madox Ford was an English writer and critic, best known for his novel The Good Soldier, considered to be one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century; the Parade s End tetralogy, which was influenced by Ford s military service during the First World War; and The Fifth Queen trilogy, which chronicles the life of Henry VIII s ill-fated wife, Katherine Howard.
