- Ford is co-editor of and contributing author to Lucas Malet: Dissident Pilgrim: Critical Essays (2019) a volume of essays of just over 97,000 words. It contains 10 chapters by established and early-career scholars working in the UK, France and the United States which range from c.7000-9000 words, including Ford’s own essay (c.7000 words) which explores the trope of telepathy in Malet’s WW1 novel, The Survivors. It features a substantial introduction co-authored by Ford and Gray of just under 13,000 words and a brief chronology of Lucas Malet’s life and work, compiled by Ford and Gray. It has an appendix containing the editors’ transcript of a short story (existing previously only in manuscript form) with their accompanying explanatory notes and a short (c.3000 word), commissioned essay by an established UK academic which provides context for the story. The volume is the first edited book to explore the writing of Lucas Malet and aims to counter the writer’s critical neglect by exploring her centrality within, and unique contribution to, the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century literary establishment. The volume, which offers sustained critical analysis of 11 novels published across a 30-year period, is organised in four thematic parts which highlight the distinctive features of Malet’s writing and locate it within broader debates relevant to the study of the period.
