the twentieth century.\u00a0 I find Ford a fascinating author.\u00a0 He loved storytelling, even at the expense of fact, which makes all the more impressive the achievement of Max Saunders in unpicking Ford\u2019s life in his <a href=\"https:\/\/global.oup.com\/academic\/product\/ford-madox-ford-9780192100153?cc=gb&amp;lang=en&amp;\">exhaustive, magisterial two-volume biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite anecdote brings together the two authors I\u2019ve mentioned; Aldington tells the story in his entertaining and engaging memoir <em>Life for Life\u2019s Sake<\/em> (1941).\u00a0 Aldington was dining with his father and invited Ford, who proceeded to regale Aldington senior with stories of his childhood among the Pre-Raphaelites (Ford\u2019s grandfather was indeed the painter Ford Madox Brown, and much of this was true).\u00a0 However, the mood of the dinner took a turn for the worse when Ford started to talk about how he met Byron, who had died almost fifty years before he was born&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>Ford on TV<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_76\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

recent years if you\u2019re a Benedict Cumberbatch fan \u2013 the big, shiny <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b01m7rn8\">BBC\/HBO miniseries (2013)<\/a> of Ford\u2019s great war novel tetralogy <em>Parade\u2019s End<\/em> (1924-8) was striking and successful, scripted by the eminent playwright Tom Stoppard.\u00a0 (You can watch it via <a href=\"https:\/\/learningonscreen.ac.uk\/ondemand\">Box of Broadcasts<\/a>.)\u00a0 Stoppard did a good job of adapting 840 pages of four novels into under five hours of prime time TV, although necessarily some liberties were taken.\u00a0 For example, Ford\u2019s ending looks forward after the Armistice to an uncertain but hopeful future, while Stoppard ends, perhaps too neatly, with the fevered celebrations of Armistice night.<\/p>\n<h4>Parade&#8217;s End<\/h4>\n<p>It was, of course, my interest in the First World War that brought me to Ford and <em>Parade\u2019s End<\/em>; I\u2019ve a chapter on Ford and War in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/An-Introduction-to-Ford-Madox-Ford\/Chantler-Hawkes\/p\/book\/9781472469083\"><em>An Introduction to Ford Madox Ford<\/em><\/a>, and he features in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk\/9780719089220\/\">my book<\/a>, too.\u00a0 The series tells us the intersecting stories of the protagonist Christopher Tietjens, his wife Sylvia Tietjens, his <em>inamorata<\/em> Valentine Wannop, and his brother Mark Tietjens.\u00a0 The characters represent the push and pull in the years between circa 1912 and 1920 between insistent mechanisation and modernisation, and older moral and ethical values that are coming to seem outdated.\u00a0 Christopher Tietjens insists on doing what he believes the morally right thing, even despite the potential damage to his own reputation and other practical considerations.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Parade\u2019s End<\/em> novels use a form somewhat akin to stream of consciousness, although there are multiple consciousnesses represented.\u00a0 The narrative moves associatively between different protagonists and moments in time; these chronological changes are highlighted clearly in the recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carcanet.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/indexer?product=9781847771964\">Carcanet critical edition<\/a>, which makes following the shifts easier than in the longstanding Penguin
