Evoking the glamour and frivolity of its high society life's growth over the centuries into a bewildering mass of possibilities, and the hardship of its working people, Soul of London (1905) displays an alluring humanity. Part history, part personal reminiscence and part prose poem, Ford's prophetic image of the evolution of modernity prefigures the social alienation that would transform twentieth century literature.
