Autor

Ford Madox Ford, born Ford Hermann Hueffer on December 17, 1873, in Merton, Surrey, England, was a prolific English novelist, poet, critic, and editor renowned for his contribution to literature in the early 20th century. Ford's literary style was marked by narrative experimentation and a distinctive impressionistic technique which he applied to capture the subtleties of human experience and the complexities of contemporary life. An influential figure within literary circles, Ford collaborated with fellow writer Joseph Conrad, resulting in works such as 'The Inheritors' (1901) and 'Romance' (1903), which demonstrate the synthesis of their literary talents. Although not his most famous work, Ford's book titled 'Joseph Conrad: A Personal Remembrance' (1924) is an insightful memoir offering a poignant portrayal of Conrad, both as a friend and as a literary genius. Ford is best known for his seminal tetralogy 'Parade's End' (1924-1928), which is highly regarded for its vivid exploration of the turmoil and transformation occurring during the First World War. Moreover, Ford founded the English Review in 1908, through which he launched the careers of many notable writers of the time. His literary legacy continues to influence writers and captivate readers long after his death on June 26, 1939, in Deauville, France.
