Ford·Ford madox·1873-1939

I was amazed to learn that Ford Madox Ford published 81 books during his lifetime; other than "The Good Soldier" and the "Parade's End" tetralogy, and maybe "The Fifth Queen," nothing else seems to survive outside of deeply stocked libraries. He over-wrote but had little choice: what he wrote didn't sell very well so he had to keep churning out more to make ends meet.

Ford Madox Ford (born Ford Hermann Hueffer) had the good fortune to have as his biographer the English novelist Alan Judd. The tetralogy "Parades End" which marks the end of the gentleman officer class and Edwardian England had its origins in Ford's experiences after his arrival at the Battle of the Somme (1916) with the 9th Welch regiment.
