The third novel in the 'Parade's End' series, 'A Man Could Stand Up' follows the further trials of Christopher Tietjens. Set on Armistice Day 1918, the story sees Tietjens back in London, mulling over the events of World War I. So too, is his beloved Valentine, although gossip has spread about their illicit, romantic entanglements. As each debates their place in a post-war world, the main burning question is whether or not they can find happiness together.
A beautifully-written and touching story from one of the best war novelists of the 20th Century, 'A Man Could Stand Up' will delight any person who is interested in World War I literature. Born in Wimbledon, Joseph Leopold Ford Hermann Madox Hueffer (1873 - 1939) was a prolific poet, novelist, and literary critic, who would become better known by his pen-name, Ford Madox Ford. The grandson of the artist, Ford Madox Brown, he was educated firstly in Kent, before being accepted at the University College School in London. At the age of 21, Ford eloped with his childhood sweetheart, Elsie Martindale.
After living at several houses, they finally settled in Winchelsea. There, Ford befriended a number of authors living locally, including HG Wells and Henry James. However, it was Joseph Conrad with whom he decided to collaborate, writing a pirate novel called 'Romance'. After a nervous breakdown, Ford went to recover in Germany, which laid the foundations for 'The Good Soldier'. On returning to England, he founded 'The English Review' magazine, before being sent to fight in World War I.
When the war finished, Ford spent the rest of his life travelling and writing. He leaves behind him more than 80 books and numerous poems.
