Autorenporträt
John Galsworthy (1867–1933) was an English novelist and playwright, renowned for his keen observation of Victorian and Edwardian upper middle-class life. Galsworthy's literary career was marked by his insightful portrayal of the British gentry and their struggles with social change during the turn of the 20th century. His notable work 'The Forsyte Saga - Complete' constitutes a series of three novels and two interludes that chronicle the ebbing social power of the commercial upper-middle class Forsyte family between the 1880s and 1920s. Galsworthy's prose style is distinguished by a delicacy of phrase and a dispassionate, subtly ironic tone. He employs detailed narratives and an omniscient viewpoint to explore the social dynamics and human frailties within his characters' lives. The 'Saga' not only reflects Galsworthy's critique on the rigid and often hypocritical mores of the time but also showcases his narrative abilities and craftsmanship in depicting complex relationships and moral dilemmas. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, Galsworthy has been acclaimed for his works that have made salient contributions to English literature, shedding light on the class structure and the social issues of his day.
