The Parade’s End Tetralogy: Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up & Last Post [EPUB ebook] 

Ford Madox Ford, born Ford Hermann Hueffer on December 17, 1873, was a prolific English novelist, editor, critic, and a noteworthy figure in the modernist literary movement. His most distinguished work arguably remains the four-part series known as ‘The Parade’s End’ tetralogy, comprising ‘Some Do Not…’ (1924), ‘No More Parades’ (1925), ‘A Man Could Stand Up’ (1926), and ‘Last Post’ (1928). These novels, set during and after World War I, reflect on the social turmoil and the transformation of society through the lens of Christopher Tietjens, an aristocratic statistician who grapples with the chaos of the modern world and his own personal conflicts. Ford’s narrative techniques in ‘The Parade’s End’, particularly his use of non-linear storytelling and internal monologue, exemplify modernist experimentation and have earned him comparisons to contemporaries such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. Beyond the tetralogy, Ford is also known for his collaboration with Joseph Conrad and his influence on literature as the founder and editor of the ‘English Review’ and ‘The Transatlantic Review’, platforms that introduced early works of now-celebrated authors, including D.H. Lawrence and Ernest Hemingway. Ford’s innovative prose, his exploration of moral ambiguity, and his introspection into the human psyche contribute largely to his status as an eminent figure in literary modernism. He passed away on June 26, 1939; however, his contributions to literature continue to be celebrated and studied to this day.
