Praise for Ford Madox Ford
'Of the various demands one can make of the novelist, that he show us the way in which a society works, that he show an understanding of the human heart, that he create characters whose reality we believe and for whose fate we care, that he describe things and people so that we feel their physical presence, that he illuminate our moral consciousness, that he make us laugh and cry, that he delight us by his craftsmanship, there is not one, it seems to me, that Ford does not completely satisfy. There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them.'
W.H.Auden, 1961 Praise for Sara Haslam 'One of the best books I have ever read about Englishness.' - AS Byatt, The Guardian Ford Madox Ford was a founder of influential literary magazines: the English Review , in 1908, and the Transatlantic Review , in 1924. read more
