FMF (who began publishing as Ford Madox Hueffer) was a significant figure in British and international modernism, and a prolific writer during the 1890s and the earlier part of the twentieth century. He produced fiction, criticism (of art, literature, and culture), autobiography, and other genres, and edited both the transatlantic review, which began and ended in 1924, and the English Review. Best remembered for the experimental aspects of his early novel The Good Soldier and of his war tetralogy, Parade's End, he was also a factor in the personal and literary development of two women writers, Violet Hunt and Jean Rhys .
