"Parade's End" is the title Ford Madox Ford gave to his greatest
work, the four Tietjens novels which - in Graham Greene's words -
tell 'the terrifying story of a good man tortured, pursued, driven
into revolt, and ruined as far as the world is concerned by the
clever devices of a jealous and lying wife'. He wanted to see the
book printed in one volume: "Some Do Not" (1924), "No More Parades"
(1925) and "A Man Could Stand Up" (1926), with his afterthought,
"The Last Post" (1928). Christopher Tietjens is the last of a
breed, the Tory gentleman, which the Great War, a savage marriage
to Sylvia, and the qualities inherent in his nature, define and
unravel. Here, the War's attritions offered no escape from domestic
witchcraft. Opposite Tietjens is Macmaster, a Scot, different in
class and culture, at once friend and foil. Here, Ford's art and
his human vision achieve their greatest complexity and subtlety.
Gerald Hammond is Professor of English at the University of
Manchester, author of "The Making of the English Bible", "Fleeting
Things" and other critical volumes and editor of the "Selected
Poems of John Skelton" and of "Richard Lovelace" in the

project which aims to bring all the major writings of this great
writer back into circulation.
