ABSTRACT
Ford Madox Ford as editor is to acknowledge an irony of the twentieth century: the magazine editor who ignited or sustained the careers of so many modernist luminaries at the beginning of the twentieth century, in the twenty-first, receiving the sustained critical attention due to him. Scholes and Sean Latham were awarded a large National Endowment for the Humanities grant to build the first repository for digital editions of out-of-copyright magazines. Andrzej Gasiorek, speaking to Ford’s editorship of the transatlantic review, conceives of Ford as an editor of transitions rather than ruptures. Once networked digital archives start to come online, the potential for research will be a boon to Ford scholarship since Ford scholars lack comprehensive data of other modernist editors. The archives of Violet Hunt, Douglas Goldring, and Ford, however, remain digitally ‘dark’. Ford was an editor of international stature, and thus his papers reside in libraries and archives on both sides of the Atlantic.
