Ford Madox Ford
Ford Madox Ford (1873–1939) was an influential English novelist, poet, and editor, best known for his modernist style and narrative innovations. His most famous works include "The Good Soldier" (1915), a novel about betrayal and moral disintegration, and the "Parade's End" tetralogy (1924–1928), which explores the effects of World War I on British society. Ford was also a co-founder of "The English Review" and played a pivotal role in promoting the works of other writers, including Joseph Conrad and D.H. Lawrence. His unique narrative techniques and psychological depth continue to influence contemporary fiction.

He had been sent there to Latinise the letters that passed between Sir Thomas Wyatt and the King's Ministers of France, for he was esteemed the most learned man in these islands. He had groaned much at being sent there, for he must leave in England so many...

PART IITHIS is the saddest story I have ever heard. We had known the Ashburnhams for nine seasons of the town of Nauheim with an extreme intimacy—or, rather with an acquaintanceship as loose and easy and yet as close as a good glove's with your hand. My wife and I knew Captain and Mrs Ashburnham as well as it was possible to know anybody, and yet, in another sense, we knew nothing at all about...
