Parade's End is a tetralogy (four related novels) by Ford Madox Ford. It is set mainly in England and on the Western Front in World War I, where Ford served as an officer in the Welsh Regiment, a life vividly depicted in the novels. Ford Madox Ford (1873–1939) was an English novelist, poet, critic and editor whose journals. The four novels were originally published under the titles: Some Do Not ..., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and Last Post. They were combined into one volume as Parade's End, which has been ranked at number 57 on the Modern Library's 100 Best Novels list. J. Gray hailed "possibly the greatest 20th-century novel in English". Likewise, Mary Gordon labelled it as "quite simply, the best fictional treatment of war in the history of the novel". The novels chronicle the life of Christopher Tietjens, "the last Tory", a brilliant government statistician from a wealthy landowning family who is serving in the British Army during World War I. His wife Sylvia is a flippant socialite who seems intent on ruining him. Tietjens may or may not be the father of his wife's child. [more]

The fame of this new addition to the British bill of fare spread near and far. The English people, who had always been fond of rabbit pie, and still eat thousands of Molly Cotton Tails every day, named it "Welsh Rabbit," and thought it one of the best things to eat. In fact, there are many people, who do not easily see a joke, who misunderstand the fun, or who suppose the name to be either slang, or vulgar, or a mistake, and who call it "rarebit." It is like "Cape Cod turkey" (codfish), or "Bombay ducks" (dried fish), or "Irish plums" (potatoes) and such funny cookery with fancy names. [more]

In a very similar perspective as his most critically acclaimed novel, The Red Badge of Courage, this collection of short stories and sketches highlights author Stephen Crane's prowess as both a chronicler and raconteur in the realm of war. Set in the Civil War period, these tales provide vivid and fascinating insight into the true horror and tragedy of armed conflict while paying homage to the bravery and altruism of the soldiers who brought the conflict to its just denouement.

Although I Never Saw You, Since You Died In 1804, I Am Glad You Were One Of Those Welshmen Who Opposed The Policy Of King George Iii And That You, After Coming To America In 1783, Were Among The First Sea Captains To Carry The American Flag Around The World. That You Knew Many Of The Free Quakers And Other Patriots Of The Revolution And That They Buried You Among Them, Near Benjamin Franklin, Is A Matter Of Pride To Your Descendants. That You Were Born In Wales And Spoke Welsh, As Did Also Those Three Great Prophets Of Spiritual Liberty, Roger Williams, William Penn, And Thomas Jefferson, Is Still Further Ground For Pride In One's Ancestry. Now, In The Perspective Of History We See That Our Washington And His Compeers And Wilkes, Barre, Burke And The Friends Of America In Parliament Were Fighting The Same Battle Of Freedom. Though Our Debt To Wales For Many Things Is Great, We Count Not Least Those Inheritances From The World Of Imagination, For Which The Cymric Land Was Famous, Even Before The Days Of Either Anglo-Saxon Or Norman.
