In creating his acclaimed masterpiece Parades End, Ford Madox Ford wanted the Novelist in fact to appear in his really proud position as historian of his own time . . . The subject was the world as it culminated in the war. Published in four parts between 1924 and 1928, his extraordinary novel centers on Christopher Tietjens, an officer and gentleman- the last English Tory-and follows him from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the First World War. Against the backdrop of a world at war, Ford recounts the complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife Sylvia. A work of truly amazing subtlety and profundity, Parades End affirms Graham Greenes prediction: There is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford.
