A Man Could Stand Up β, the third volume of Paradeβs End, brings Fordβs characters to the βcrack across the table of Historyβ, across which lie their uncertain post-war futures. Divided into three parts, the novel is a kaleidoscopic vision of society at a climactic moment. The Armistice Day fireworks heard by Valentine Wannop in London with which the novel opens are echoed in the nightmare bombardment of the second part, as we are taken back to the war and Christopher Tietjens, staggering through the mud of No Manβs Land with a wounded soldier in his arms. The final section returns to Armistice Day and joins the two characters in a frenetic dance, while Tietjensβ wartime comrades smash glasses drunkenly around them.
For the first time, the four novels that make up Ford Madox Fordβs First World War masterpiece Paradeβs End are published in fully annotated editions, with authoritative corrected texts....
