Produktbeschreibung
This early work by Ford Madox Ford was originally published in 1924 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. This is part one of Ford's hugely successful Parade's End tetralogy that has now been adapted into a BBC television drama. Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Madox Hueffer in Merton, Surrey, England on 17th December 1873. The creative arts ran in his family - Hueffer's grandfather, Ford Madox Brown, was a well-known painter, and his German émigré father was music critic of The Times - and after a brief dalliance with music composition, the young Hueffer began to write. Although Hueffer never attended university, during his early twenties he moved through many intellectual circles, and would later talk of the influence that the "Middle Victorian, tumultuously bearded Great" - men such as John Ruskin and Thomas Carlyle - exerted on him. In 1908, Hueffer founded the English Review, and over the next 15 months published Thomas Hardy, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, John Galsworthy and W. B. Yeats, and gave débuts to many authors, including D. H. Lawrence and Norman Douglas. Hueffer's editorship consolidated the classic canon of early modernist literature, and saw him earn a reputation as of one of the century's greatest literary editors. Ford continued to write through the thirties, producing fiction, non-fiction, and two volumes of autobiography: Return to Yesterday (1931) and It was the Nightingale (1933). In his last years, he taught literature at the Olivet College in Michigan. Ford died on 26th June 1939 in Deauville, France, at the age of 65.

Autorenporträt
Ford Madox Ford, born Joseph Leopold Ford Hermann Madox Hueffer in 1873, was an English novelist, poet, and critic. He grew up in a culturally rich household, influenced by his grandfather, the Pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown. His exposure to the arts shaped his literary style, which blended modernist experimentation with deep psychological insight.In 1908, he founded The English Review, publishing works by major writers like Thomas Hardy and H.G. Wells while promoting emerging voices like D.H. Lawrence. His editorial work played a crucial role in shaping early 20th-century literature. Ford also collaborated closely with Joseph Conrad, co-writing novels that experimented with form and narrative perspective.His most famous work, The Good Soldier (1915), pioneered the use of unreliable narration, while his Parade's End tetralogy (1924-1928) offered a powerful critique of World War I. His writing explored themes of memory, disillusionment, and shifting social values. Today, he remains a key figure in modernist literature, influencing generations of writers.
