 | This biographical article needs more biographical information on the subject. |
Arthur Pierson Marwood (21 August 1868 - ?) was a mathematician and co-founder of The English Review upon whom the Parade's End character of Christopher Tietjens was based.[1]
Life and background
Marwood was the younger son of a baronet, born into an old Yorkshire country family with aristocratic connections in 1868.[2] He attended Trinity College to study mathematics but did not obtain his degree due to ill health. In the early 1900s, he formed a close friendship with the novelist Ford Madox Ford who regarded Marwood as the embodiment of enlightened Tory gentry and an intellect.[3] Ford based the character of Christopher Tietjens upon him and his family.[4] The similarities between the book and Marwood's life proved to be too close for Marwood, who permanently ended his friendship with Ford.[citation needed]
