Des études sur la dualité de l'écrivain britannique Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939), qu'il a lui-même exprimée dans l'expression homo duplex, un équilibre entre l'identité et la différence. Un axe biographique et un second littéraire structurent ces contributions qui interrogent le rôle de l'altérité dans la vie et l'écriture de Ford. ©Electre 2025
Duality has been an abiding paradigm in much of the criticism on Ford Madox Ford. It has been useful to account for the singularity and ambivalence of Fords place in time : poised between the nineteenth and the early twentieth century ; in geography : between the city and the country, between England, France, and Germany ; in aesthetics : between the influence of bis grandfather and the Pre-Raphaelites, and the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century. The aim of this collective volume is to investigate a spécific aspect of duality, that is best expressed in the phrase favoured by Ford himself : homo duplex. This phrase encapsulates the productive tension between identity and difference, and foregrounds the question of alter- ity in Ford's life and writing. This volume interrogates the role of alterity in Ford's self-discovery as an author, and subsequently, in bis writing. It is tbus articulated along two main axes : one is biographical, and explores the major role that contact with others, or with alterity, played in Ford's self- construction. The second axis is literary, and demonstrates that alterity is a central paradigm in Ford's aesthetics.
