Ford Madox Ford, originally named Ford Hermann Hueffer, was a distinguished English novelist, poet, critic and editor whose fame largely arises from his novel 'The Good Soldier' (1915), a masterpiece of narrative structure and unreliable narration, often cited as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. Ford was born on December 17, 1873, in Merton, Surrey, England, and passed away on June 26, 1939. With a grand literary heritage – his grandfather was the pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown – Ford grew into an forefront figure of the modernist literary scene. He was famously known for his collaborations with Joseph Conrad and his founding of 'The English Review' and 'The Transatlantic Review', influential publications that featured the works of emerging modernist writers. Ford's literary style is marked by his preoccupation with the complexities of human psychology, impressionism, and his innovative use of literary techniques. His prodigious oeuvre includes over 80 books, ranging from fiction, poetry, and essays to criticism. Besides 'The Good Soldier', his other notable works include the 'Parade's End' tetralogy, which intricately chronicles the world during World War I and the end of the Edwardian era. Ford's contribution to literature extends beyond his own writing to his mentoring of younger writers and shaping the course of modern literature through his active, engrossing literary life.
