Book Description

Published in 1847 by Joseph Cottle, Reminiscences recounts his relationship with Coleridge and Southey, whom he first met in 1794. Criticised by contemporaries for various shortcomings, it nevertheless gives a uniquely valuable insight into the lives and characters of the Romantic poets by a member of their inner circle.

About the Author

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. As a critic, Ford championed new literature and literary experimentation, and his journals, The English Review and The Transatlantic Review, launched the careers of critically acclaimed authors like Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, D. H. Lawrence, and Ernest Hemingway. Ford died in 1939 at the age of 65.
