Autorenporträt
Ford Madox Ford, born Ford Hermann Hueffer (1873-1939), was an eminent English novelist, poet, critic, and editor, whose legacy is largely anchored in the modernist movement of the early 20th century. A prolific writer, Ford's work is distinguished by its narrative sophistication and a keen psychological depth, exemplified in 'The Good Soldier' (1915), a novel that remains a touchstone of unreliable narration and literary impressionism. However, 'The Complete Parade's End Tetralogy,' encompassing 'Some Do Not...', 'No More Parades', 'A Man Could Stand Up—', and 'Last Post', is perhaps his magnum opus. This monumental work artfully captures the tumult of the World War I era through the lens of its protagonist, Christopher Tietjens. The tetralogy, while intricate in its exploration of time and memory, is particularly lauded for its vivid portrayal of societal upheaval and the personal complexities of its characters. Ford's background as the founder of literary journals such as 'The English Review' and 'The Transatlantic Review' allowed him to foster relationships with contemporaries such as James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway, influencing literature on both sides of the Atlantic. His literary style, marked by experimentation with narrative structure and a deft, poetic use of language, has continued to inspire and challenge readers and writers alike.
