In his own literary creations, Ford is best known for his sequence of four novels titled 'Parade's End' (19241928), which explore the complexities of the human condition against the backdrop of World War Ia monumental conflict that Ford himself served in. His other major work, 'The Good Soldier' (1915), uses a non-chronological narrative to unravel the stories of two couples, becoming a staple example of early modernist literature. In 'The English Novel,' Ford offers a discerning analysis of the development and characteristics of the English novel, exhibiting his expertise on the subject.
