Produktbeschreibung

John Galsworthy's 'Four Short Plays' is a collection of poignant and thought-provoking plays that touch on themes of love, social class, and morality. Galsworthy's literary style is characterized by naturalistic dialogue and deep insight into human behavior, making each play a compelling exploration of the human experience. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, these plays offer a glimpse into the societal norms and values of the time, shedding light on the struggles and aspirations of individuals trying to navigate a rapidly changing world. John Galsworthy, a Nobel Prize-winning author known for his social commentary and keen observation of human nature, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of the society around him.

Autorenporträt

John Galsworthy OM was an English dramatist and novelist who lived from 14 August 1867 to 31 January 1933. His novels, The Forsyte Saga, and two more trilogies, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter, are his best-known works. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy, who came from a wealthy upper-middle-class family, was expected to become a lawyer, but he found the profession unappealing, so he resorted to literature. Before his first book, The Man of Property, about the Forsyte family, was released in 1897, he was thirty years old. It wasn't until that book-the first of its kind-that he saw true popularity. His debut play, The Silver Box, had its London premiere the same year. As a writer, he gained notoriety for his socially conscious plays that addressed issues such as the politics and morality of war, the persecution of women, the use of solitary confinement in prisons, the battle of workers against exploitation, and jingoism. The patriarch, Old Jolyon, is based on Galsworthy's father, and the Forsyte family in the collection of books and short tales known as The Forsyte Chronicles is comparable to Galsworthy's family in many aspects.
