When Henry Martin, "the typical man of the period"; the Great Depression; attempts suicide, he finds himself a new identity as the casual Hugh Monckton he would like to have been. Writing to Ezra Pound in 1933, Ford declared that The Rash Act "is more like what I wanted to write than anything I have done for years". He "put more into it" than he could well afford.
