"Some Do Not" - the first volume of Ford Madox Ford's
highly-regarded tetralogy Parade's End, was originally published in
April 1924 and has recently been made into a BBC/HBO television
miniseries. The book begins begins with the two young friends,
Christopher Tietjens and Vincent Macmaster; on the train to Rye for
a golfing weekend in the country in 1912. Tietjens has a brilliant
mind, and speaks it scathingly and heedlessly. Both men work in
London as government statisticians; though Macmaster aspires to be
a critic, and has just written a short book on Dante Gabriel
Rossetti. He plans to call on a parson who knew Rossetti, and who
lives near Rye. Tietjens is preoccupied with his disastrous
marriage. Ford Madox Ford (17 December 1873 - 26 June 1939) was an
English novelist, poet, critic and editor whose journals, The
English Review and The Transatlantic Review, were instrumental in
the development of early 20th-century English literature. He is now
best remembered for The Good Soldier (1915), the Parade's End
tetralogy (1924-28) and The Fifth Queen trilogy (1906-08).
