Autorenporträt

John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and dramatist. Having begun to write in his twenties for his own amusement, he later adopted a more considered approach. His earlier works, published under the pseudonym John Sinjohn, were withdrawn and The Island Pharisee (1904) instated as his first important work.
The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921) is Galsworthy's most famous novel: a lengthy examination of an upper-middle class family, its scope, and impact earned Galsworthy the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932.
Galsworthy was also renowned for his drama. His plays, often social in nature, were monuments of technical skill and execution. Justice (1910), his most famous play, examined the double standards of the English justice system and led to prison reform in the country.
