The grandson of English Pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown, Ford was born with the decidedly German-sounding name Ford Hermann Hueffer. His early writing career was productive, including several historical novels. In 1915 he published the novel for which he is probably most well-known, The Good Soldier, and also enlisted in the army. He was invalided home from France in 1917, and changed his name from Hueffer to Ford in 1919.

Ford spent much of the 1920s in Paris, where he founded and edited the influential Transatlantic Review, in which were published writers like James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, e.e. cummings, as well as Hemingway.
