About the author
John Galsworthy (1867–1933) was an English novelist and playwright whose work often examined the customs, conflicts, and moral pressures of upper- and middle-class life. His writing combines detailed social observation with sympathy for people caught between personal feeling and convention.
His best-known achievement is The Forsyte Saga, a series centered on several generations of a prosperous English family. The saga explores marriage, inheritance, property, ambition, and the tension between individual freedom and social expectations. He also wrote plays, short stories, essays, and other novels.
In 1932, Galsworthy received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his “distinguished art of narration,” recognized especially in The Forsyte Saga. He died in London on January 31, 1933, shortly after receiving the award.
