1926

The attached article is a 1926 review of Ford Madox Ford’s (1873 – 1939) novel, No More Parades, his second in a series of four related novels concerning the Great War. Billed as the most highly praised novel of the year, the reviewer lapses into superlatives and exults:

Not since Three Soldiers has a novel of the war made such an impression on reviewers as Ford Madox Ford’s No More Parades… All our ‘intellectuals’ are reading it…our young intellectual novelists will be heavily influenced by it or will attempt to imitate a whole-cloth imitation of it.

Ford was a veteran of the war who served with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers; the article is illustrated with a black and white photo of the author standing shoulder to shoulder with Ezra Pound and James Joyce.
