This book spans the most significant phases of Fords literary production, from his art criticism to his main modernist novels: The Good Soldier, Parades End, The Rash Act and Henry for Hugh. The aim is to explore the uncharted territory of Fords interest in the scopic field, claiming that his investigation of the optical unconscious is his most original contribution to the modernist concern for the stream of consciousness. This is the first in-depth study of Fords interest in the gaze and how it is related to writing, painting, music, sculpture, visual technologies and forms of popular entertainment. Undermining the clichd critical vision of Ford as the last Pre-Raphaelite or proto-Futurist, this study analyses Fords fascination with the visual avant-garde and his response to the revolution of photography and (proto-) cinematographic forms from the specific angle of the scopic drive. Part history, part theoretical discussion embedded in the close reading of the texts, this book is also concerned with Ford as a great stylist whose writing strives to project an image of itself and its structures in the readers eye. Drawing inspiration from psychoanalysis and art criticism, the author capitalises on the theories of Jacques Lacan, Rosalind Krauss, Hal Foster, Jonathan Crary, and Norman Bryson to disclose the fascinating and baffling universe of Fords gaze. This is a revised and extended English translation of the original book Ford Madox Ford: Visione/visualit e scrittura.
