Explanation

In 'without a backward glance,' the word 'backward' describes the noun 'glance' - what kind of glance? A backward one. Adjectives modify/describe nouns. The pattern is 'article + adjective + noun' (a backward glance). Nouns name things, verbs show action, adverbs modify verbs, prepositions show relationships.
