The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion is a 1915 novel by English novelist Ford
Madox Ford. It is set just before World War I and chronicles the tragedy of
Edward Ashburnham, the soldier to whom the title refers, and his own seemingly
perfect marriage and that of two American friends. The novel is told using a
series of flashbacks in non-chronological order, a literary technique that
formed part of Ford's pioneering view of literary impressionism. Ford employs
the device of the unreliable narrator to great effect as the main character
gradually reveals a version of events that is quite different from what the
introduction leads the reader to believe. The novel was loosely based on two
incidents of adultery and on Ford's messy personal life.The novel's original
title was The Saddest Story, but after the onset of World War I, the publishers
asked Ford for a new title. Ford suggested (sarcastically) The Good Soldier, and
the name stuck.
