This was the first time I felt as involved in film as in working in theatre. My immersion in Parade’s End from the writing to the finishing touches took up the time I might have given to writing my own play but, perhaps to an unwarranted degree, I think of this Parade’s End as mine, such was the illusion of proprietorship over Ford’s characters and story. —Tom Stoppard, from the Introduction Tom Stoppard’s BBC / HBO dramatization of Ford Madox Ford’s masterwork takes a prominent place in the ranks of his oeuvre. Parade's End is the reinvention of a masterwork of modernist English literature produced by one of the most critically acclaimed and respected writers working today. Parade’s End is the story of Christopher Tietjens, the “last Tory,” his beautiful, disconcerting wife Sylvia, and the virginal young suffragette Valentine Wannop: an upper class love triangle before and during the Great War. Parade's End is a three-part drama, directed by the BAFTA-winning Susanna White, and featuring internationally renowned actors including Benedict Cumberbatch, Rebecca Hall, and Adelaide Clemens. This edition includes bonus scenes which were not broadcast, an introductory essay by Stoppard, and a selection of stills from the production as well as photographs taken on location.

The book introduces the technique very thoroughly, so you can clearly understand the difference between traditional piecing and quilting and QAYG. Then there’s a great selection of gorgeous quilts that are sure to appeal to the modern quilter. A must if you’ve ever thought about trying QAYG and haven’t had a clue where to start.” —Make Modern Magazine

In creating his acclaimed masterpiece Parade's End, Ford Madox Ford "wanted the Novelist in fact to appear in his really proud position as historian of his own time . . . The 'subject' was the world as it culminated in the war." Published in four parts between 1924 and 1928, his extraordinary novel centers on Christopher Tietjens, an officer and gentleman-"the last English Tory"-and follows him from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the First World War. Against the backdrop of a world at war, Ford recounts the complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife Sylvia. A work of truly amazing subtlety and profundity, Parade's End affirms Graham Greene's prediction: "There is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford."

Ford Madox Ford's monumental work, The Parade's End Tetralogy, consists of four novels - Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and Last Post - which collectively offer a profound exploration of love, war, and societal change during World War I. Ford's writing style is characterized by its intricate prose, psychological depth, and innovative narrative techniques, such as fragmented chronology and shifting perspectives, a reflection of the modernist movement of the time. Set against the backdrop of the war-torn Europe, the Tetralogy delves into the complex inner lives of its characters, grappling with themes of loyalty, morality, and the impact of historical events on personal relationships. The work stands as a significant contribution to English literature, showcasing Ford's masterful storytelling and keen insight into human nature. Ford Madox Ford's own experiences as a soldier during WWI and his disillusionment with the war likely inspired the creation of this epic literary work. The Parade's End Tetralogy is a must-read for anyone interested in intricate character studies, historical fiction, and the lasting effects of war on individuals and society.
