Ford Madox Ford (December 17, 1873-June 26, 1939) was an English novelist, poet, critic, and editor whose journals, The English Review and The Transatlantic Review, were instrumental in the development of early 20th century English literature.
In 1915, Ford enlisted into the Welch Regiment and was sent to France. Ford's combat experience and his previous propaganda activities inspired his tetralogy Parade's End, set in England on the Western Front before, during, and after WWI.
