by Ford Madox Ford (Author), Sara Haslam (Editor)

The third volume of Parade's End--one of the outstanding works about World War I and British society before, during, and after that cataclysm--this novel focuses on Valentine Wannop in London and Christopher Tietjens away at war, with the narrative concluding on Armistice Day. Making a dramatic comment on prewar life and morality, this is a perceptive exploration of time, history, and sexuality. This first-ever critical edition is fully annotated and includes a new introduction by a leading expert on Ford Madox Ford.
