在福特·马多克斯·福特的所有批评作品中，《英国小说》（1930年首次出版）是他最满意的作品。他是在旅行时写的：记忆起着很大的作用。它没有灯或图书馆的味道。我们的导游是本世纪一位主要的创新小说家，他带领我们参观了这个时代的主要文学形式，从它的诞生到他自己的时代。福特理解这部小说，它的发展和潜力。他对19世纪小说的激进观点以及他对福楼拜和康拉德的拥护是有说服力的。他与康拉德的联系使得关于《诺斯托罗莫》作者的段落（他对该作品有贡献）特别引人注目。我们得到的是“建议而不是命令”。福特并不信奉正统：他敦促对我们传统中最好的作品进行新的阅读，并指出意想不到的方向。《英国小说》问世70年后，它仍然令人难以忘怀。福特是一位对技巧有着明确理解的批评家，他的品味和对文学方向的感知是生动而富有启发性的。该卷是千年福特的一部分，旨在使这位作家的所有主要作品重新流通。
Of all Ford Madox Ford's critical works, The English Novel (first published in 1930) is his most satisfying. He wrote it while travelling: memory plays a large part. It does not smell of the lamp or the library. Our guide-a major innovative novelist of the century-takes us on a tour of the key literary form of the age, from its birth to his own time. Ford understands the novel, its development and potential. His radical view of nineteenth-century fiction and his advocacy of Flaubert and Conrad are persuasive. His association with Conrad makes the passages on the author of Nostromo (to which he contributed) especially compelling. We are offered `suggestions not dictates'. Ford espouses no orthodoxy: he urges a fresh reading of the best work in our tradition, with pointers in unexpected directions. Seventy years after it was written, The English Novel remains compulsively readable. A definite critic in his sure understanding of technique, Ford's taste and his perception of directions in literature are vivid and suggestive. The volume is part of The Millennium Ford which aims to bring all the major works of this writer back into circulation.
