‘[M]en’s Dwellings Were Thin Shells’: Uncertain Interiors and Domestic Violence in Ford Madox Ford’s War Writing
The standard image of First World War soldiers is of men in open trenches: waiting to attack or be attacked; walking, sitting, sleeping, dead. Ford’s Parade’s End includes such scenes. But it is a different kind of image which predominates in his war writings and often produces its most memorable passages: images of houses or house-like shelters. The mind seeks protection in such structures; but they offer little security against the destructiven…
Authors Take a Stand on the Irish War: Virginia Woolf, Ford Madox Ford, and the Rediscovery of a Significant Document for the Politics of Modernism
A virtually unknown petition signed by fifty prominent intellectuals protesting against the violent tactics of the Black and Tans in Ireland appeared in several newspapers in January 1921. Signatories included leading writers, scientists and academics of the day, such as Arnold Bennett, G. K. Chesterton, Walter de la Mare, Ford Madox Ford, E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Jane Harrison, J. M. Keynes, Gilbert Murray, Arthur Quiller-Couch, Dorothy Richard…
Autobiografiction. Experimental Life-Writing from the Turn of the Century to Modernism
Artykuł porusza rozległy, a przy tym zaskakująco niedoinwestowany temat związków autobiografii i fikcji w okresie między rokiem 1880 a 1930. Jego istotą jest przeformułowanie poglądów na temat relacji między modernizmem i praktykami życiopisania. W tym celu Saunders przywołuje opublikowany w roku 1906 esej Stephena Reynoldsa, autora autobiograficznej książki A Poor Man’s House, w którym pojawia się pojęcie autobiografikcji, zaskakująco podobne do…
Autofiction, Autobiografiction, Autofabrication, and Heteronymity: Differentiating Versions of the Autobiographical
Descriptions of “autofiction” have been unhelpfully imprecise. This article uses Stephen Reynolds’s 1906 essay “Autobiografiction” to argue that we need both terms for a fuller picture of the various ways writers can combine autobiography and fiction. The logic of the analysis is shown to require the other two concepts to complete the proposed new taxonomy
Imagined Futures: Writing, Science, and Modernity in the to-Day and to-Morrow Book Series, 1923-31
This study provides the first substantial history and analysis of the To-Day and To-Morrow series of 110 books, published by Kegan Paul Trench and Trubner (and E. P. Dutton in the USA) from 1923 to 1931, in which writers chose a topic, described its present, and predicted its future. Contributors included J. B. S. Haldane, Bertrand Russell, Vernon Lee, Robert Graves, Vera Brittain, Sylvia Pankhurst, Hugh McDiarmid, James Jeans, J. D. Bernal, Wini…
De l’impressionnisme littéraire
Cet article procède par une série d’oppositions. En partant de la peinture, deux conceptions opposées du terme impressionnisme sont examinées : (i) la première – sans oublier que certains de ces exposants, notamment Cézanne, Gauguin et Seurat se sont progressivement éloignés du mouvement vers un style appelé par la suite, « postimpressionnistes » – désigne spécifiquement les principes esthétiques des peintres ayant participé aux expositions dites…
Modernism and Autobiography
This volume offers sixteen original essays that attest to the extraordinary inventiveness and range of modernist autobiography. It examines the ways modernist writers chose to tell their life stories, with particular attention to forms, venues, modes of address, and degrees of truthfulness. The essays are grouped around a set of rubrics that isolate the distinctive character and shared preoccupations of modernist life-writings: questions of ances…

And then Leonora completely broke down—on the day that they returned to Branshaw Teleragh. It is the infliction of our miserable minds—it is the scourge of atrocious but probably just destiny that no grief comes by itself. No, any great grief, though the grief itself...

The data were collected from four cooperatives using surveys, group work, and semi-structured int…

Autobiografiction: Experimental Life‐Writing from the Turn of the Century to Modernism 1
This essay approaches the large but surprisingly under‐theorized topic of the relation between autobiography and fiction, concentrating on the period between 1880 and 1930, arguing for a new account of the relation between Modernism and life‐writing. It introduces and analyses a key essay from 1906 by Stephen Reynolds, author of A Poor Man’s House , which, strikingly, coins the post‐modern‐sounding term ‘autobiografiction’. It argues that Reynold…

Science and Futurology in the To-Day and To-Morrow Series: Matter, Consciousness, Time and Language
This essay considers what happens when the To-Day and To-Morrow series' project of futurology - imagining future developments across a range of disciplines - meets the sciences, and their attempt to establish prediction on a scientific basis. It concentrates on L. L. Whyte's volume Archimedes, or the Future of Physics (1927), which makes some striking predictions not only about the convergence of the sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology, b…
