Parade's End
''Parade's End'' is a tetralogy (four related novels) by the English novelist and poet Ford Madox Ford published between 1924 and 1928. It is set mainly in England and on the Western Front in the First World War, in which Ford had served as an officer in the Welch Regiment, a life vividly depicted in the novels. In December 2010, John N. Gray hailed the work as "possibly the greatest 20th-century novel in English" and Mary Gordon labelled it as "quite simply, the best fictional treatment of war in the history of the novel".
The work is a complex tale written in a modernist style ("it is as modern and modernist as they come"), does not concentrate on detailing the experience of war. Robie Macauley, in his introduction to the Borzoi edition of 1950, described it as "by no means a simple warning as to what modern warfare is like... () something complex and baffling (many contemporary readers ). There was a love story with no passionate scenes; there were trenches but no battles; there was a tragedy without a denouement." The novel is about the psychological result of the war on the participants and on society. In his introduction to the third novel, ''A Man Could Stand Up--'', Ford wrote, "This is what the late war was like: this is how modern fighting of the organized, scientific type affects the mind".

Ford stated that his purpose in creating this work was "the obviating of all future wars". The four novels were originally published under the titles: ''Some Do Not ...'' (1924), ''No More Parades'' (1925), ''A Man Could Stand Up —'' (1926) and ''Last Post'' (''The Last Post'' in the USA) (1928); the books were combined into one volume as ''Parade's End''. In 2012, HBO, BBC and VRT produced a television adaptation, written by Tom Stoppard and starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01m7rn8/ )〕
