Parade's End is the great British war novel & Ford Madox Ford's major achievement as a novelist. Originally published as four linked novels between 1924 & 1928, it follows the story of Christopher Tietjens, as his life is shattered by his wife's infidelities & overturned by the mud, blood & destruction of the First World War. Tietjens, with his old-fashioned Tory values, is already out of step with the corrupt political culture of Edwardian England: his experiences at the Front & his developing relationship with the suffragette Valentine Wannop force him into a radical reconfiguring of his values as he participates in the post-war period of national re-construction. Parade's End is both a subtly perceptive psychological novel & a richly descriptive chronicle of 'the public events of a decade'. Through Tietjens, his beautiful (and unforgettably cruel) wife, Sylvia, & the principled Valentine, Ford draws us into the world of the English upper class as it goes through a period of crisis & transformation. ...
