Abstract
War and the Mind: Ford Madox Ford’s Parade’s End, Modernism, and Psychology is a long-overdue examination of Ford’s First World War modernist masterpiece from the point of view of psychology and the effects of the war on the minds of those who fought and those at home. It adds to writing about First World War writers, war trauma and trauma theory, modernism, and literary Impressionism, and contributes to the burgeoning field of medical humanities by reconsidering Parade’s End in terms of the various mental and psychological disorders represented within its pages. War and the Mind is the first multi-authored study of Parade’s End that focuses on the psychological effects of the war, both upon Ford himself and upon his novel: its characters, its themes, and its form. The volume comprises ten chapters by experts on Ford, modernism, the First World War, and psychology. Issues discussed include Ford’s pioneering analysis of war trauma, trauma theory, shell shock, memory and repression, insomnia, empathy, therapy, literary Impressionism, and literary style. Other writers discussed include Conrad, Deleuze and Guattari, Foucault, Freud, William James, W. H. R. Rivers, Sassoon, May Sinclair, and Rebecca West.
