About the author
Born in Surrey in 1867, he trained in law before turning to writing, and that legal background helped shape his clear-eyed interest in justice, property, and social responsibility. After publishing early work, he found lasting success with The Man of Property, the opening novel of The Forsyte Saga, the series that made him famous.
Galsworthy wrote both novels and plays, often focusing on class, marriage, power, and the pressures of modern life. His style is calm and readable, but underneath it runs a steady moral concern for people trapped by convention or treated unfairly by society.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, just months before his death in 1933. Today he is remembered above all for The Forsyte Saga, which remains one of the classic portraits of English family life in the early 20th century.
