Ford Maddox Brown

[HBO’s production of Ford’s trilogy (2012) -- including Some Do Not (1924); No More Parades (1925); and A Man Could Stand Up (1926) – is realized by Tom Stoppard’s screenplay, a brilliant cast, artful direction and cinematography.]

[Ford was related to Dante Gabriel Rossetti – poet, painter and mostnotorious of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He casts a shadow a cross Parade’s End.]

[Edith Ethel Macmaster fashions herself after Rossetti’s Persephone, sexually menacing and cruel.]

[Trench warfare and its misery dominates Parade’s End. Ford served at the front and sustained injuries that sent him home “shell-shockedâ€Â�.]

Trevor Sewell portrayed Reverend Duchemin, in the HBO miniseries. Even before Duchemin launches into his guests’ habits of masturbation and hauls up his treasured paintings “A fair blaze of bosoms and nipples and lips and pomegranatesâ€Â�, Ford lampoons the grandeur of Episcopal

[England, long in decline, war has speeded the process. Empires are founded by pirates and thugs, who only later become high-minded gentlefolk. So it was with Roman landowners pressing outward in conquest. Plato, Polybius, Machiavelli, and Gibbon note empire’s brutal beginning, graceful civilizing, and ugly demise. The journey trends downward into corruption, absurdity, and madness.]

[Rebecca Hall portrayed Sylvia Tietjens, very much as described by Ford. Bored with life, Sylvia takes revenge by tormenting others. She is devilish witty in Oscar Wilde perversity, and a delight to the novel.]

[Valentine Wannop, portrayed by Adelaide Clemens, Is introduced protesting for women’s rights on the fairway of a distinguished gentlemen’s club. She is young and athletic and wins Tietjens support and soon after his affection.]
