- Ford is lead editor and contributing author to Economies of Desire at the Victorian Fin de Siècle: Libidinal Lives (2016), an edited volume of just over 94,000 words. The volume contains 9 chapters of c.7000-12000 words from high-profile scholars working in the UK, Europe and the US. It is organised in three parts which relate to key conceptual frameworks for a reading of the themes of economy and desire in fin-de-siècle literature and culture. Ford’s own essay (c.7000 words) examines economies of the gift in Vernon Lee’s supernatural tales. The volume features a co-authored introduction of just over 8000 words by Ford, Keates and Pulham which considers how the literature of the fin de siècle questions, defines and registers the relationship between economy and desire, particularly in the light of late nineteenth-century developments in economic thought and sexology.
