This international society was founded in 1997 to promote knowledge of and interest in the life and works of Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939).
The author of nearly 80 books and the founding editor of two groundbreaking periodicals, the English Review (1908-10) and the transatlantic review (1924), Ford is best known as the writer of The Good Soldier (1915), and the Parade’s End tetralogy (1924-8). He was also a well-regarded poet, memoirist, critic and cultural impressionist, including among his works a ‘personal remembrance’ of Joseph Conrad and a number of books about his ‘Pre-Raphaelite childhood’.
This site has been designed to provide information about the Society’s activities, about Ford’s life and work, and about the published work and scholarship available on Ford.
If you are an admirer, an enthusiast, a reader, a scholar, or a student of anything Fordian, then this society would like to hear from you, and welcomes your participation in its activities.
The second novel of the Parade’s End series, No More Parades was published in 1925. As this second printing of the US edition shows, it was well received!
