Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) was an English novelist, essayist, memoirist, poet and critic. He founded literary journals such as ‘The English Review’ and ‘The Transatlantic Review’ which were instrumental in the development of early 20th century English literature. He published renowned authors such as Thomas Hardy, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, John Galsworthy, William Butler Yeats and many more in these influential journals and even collaborated with Joseph Conrad on three novels. He is now best remembered for ‘The Good Soldier’ (1915), the ‘Parade’s End’ tetralogy (1924-28) and ‘The Fifth Queen’ trilogy (1906-08). Included in ‘The Fifth Queen’ trilogy is ‘Privy Seal’ (1907), the second novel of the collection. The historical series presents a highly fictionalized account of Katharine Howard’s arrival at the Court of Henry VIII, her eventual marriage to the king and her death.
