Born in Wimbledon, Joseph Leopold Ford Hermann Madox Hueffer (1873 – 1939) was a prolific poet, novelist, and literary critic, who would become better known by his pen-name, Ford Madox Ford. In his early twenties, Ford moved to Winchelsea with his childhood sweetheart, Elsie Martindale. Here, he befriended a number of authors including HG Wells and Henry James. However, it was Joseph Conrad with whom he decided to collaborate, writing a pirate novel titled ‘Romance’. After a nervous breakdown, Ford went to recover in Germany, which laid the foundations for ‘The Good Soldier´. On returning to England, he founded ‘The English Review’ magazine.
