No More Parades: A Novel (2) (Parade's End)

The second volume of Ford Madox Ford€s Parade€s End series, this fully annotated edition follows Christopher Tietjens, an officer and gentlemen, from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of World War I. Recounting a complex sexual intrigue involving Tietjens and his faithless wife Sylvia, this account is not only a panorama of WWI, but an exploration of time, history, and sexuality. The text also provides key contexts-such as Ford€s biography, the historical moment, the novel€s reception at the time of its original publication, and its relation to the author€s other novels-giving readers a close-up view of this major literary technician at work. Transcripts of significant deletions and revisions to the work as well as a glossary of pertinent terms are also included.
