His most enduring legacy is perhaps his influence on the direction of modernist literature. Ford’s notable editorial work included the English Review (1908–1910) and the transatlantic review (1924–1927), which provided forums for new writers. In his own literary creations, Ford is best known for his sequence of four novels titled ‘Parade’s End’ (1924–1928), which explore the complexities of the human condition against the backdrop of World War I—a monumental conflict that Ford himself served in. His other major work, ‘The Good Soldier’ (1915), uses a non-chronological narrative to unravel the stories of two couples, becoming a staple example of early modernist literature. In ‘The English Novel, ‘ Ford offers a discerning analysis of the development and characteristics of the English novel, exhibiting his expertise on the subject. Ford’s literary style often reflected his preoccupation with impressionism, as he sought to depict experiences with psychological depth and honesty.
