Author: FORD MADOX FORD
Title: Parade's End. Wordsworth Classics
Description: Wordsworth. Paperback. Pp: 744. Parade s End is the great British war novel and Ford Madox Ford s major achievement as a novelist. Originally published as four linked novels between 1924 and 1928, it follows the story of Christopher Tietjens, as his life is shattered by his wife s infidelities and overturned by the mud, blood and 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 and 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 and a richly descriptive chronicle of the public events of a decade. Through Tietjens, his beautiful (and unforgettably cruel) wife, Sylvia, and the principled Valentine, Ford draws us into the world of the English upper class as it goes through a period of crisis and transformation. ISBN: 9781840227192. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
