Welcome to the website of the Ford Madox Ford Society.

This international society was founded in 1997 to promote knowledge of and interest in the life and work of Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939).

The society organizes an active programme of events. Besides regular meetings in Britain, we have held conferences in Italy, Germany, and the U.S.A. In 2010 we held our first conference in New York, and Mary Gordon’s illustrated lecture on Ford and Janice Biala provided a wonderful finale. In Genova, in 2007, we were delighted to be joined by A. S. Byatt and Colm Tóibín, each of whom delivered a Ford Madox Ford Lecture. Follow the link to see the write-up of this event in The Times newspaper.

Since 2002 we have published an annual series, International Ford Madox Ford Studies, distributed free to members. Please use this site to find out more about the current volume, and back issues too, all of which can still be purchased. We also produce a regular newsletter, made up of current news and reports of events, but also reviews and other pieces written by Society members. Please follow the link to see the most recent example.

If you are an admirer, an enthusiast, a reader, a scholar, or a student of anything Fordian, then this society would like to hear from you, and welcomes your participation in its activities. Details of how to join, and of how to contact the Executive Committee, the website editor, or the newsletter editor, can all be found here.
