Autorenporträt
John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and playwright, renowned for his insightful portrayal of the British upper middle class. Born into a wealthy and established family, Galsworthy attended Harrow and New College, Oxford, where he studied law, but his passion for literature led him to pursue writing as a career. He first gained critical acclaim with his play 'The Silver Box' (1906), but it is his monumental work, 'The Forsyte Saga,' that remains his masterpiece and for which he is best remembered. Comprised of three novels – 'The Man of Property' (1906), 'In Chancery' (1920), and 'To Let' (1921) – and two interludes, 'Indian Summer of a Forsyte' (1918) and 'Awakening' (1920), the series chronicles the lives, loves, and losses of the prosperous Forsyte family from the Victorian era through the tumult of the early twentieth century. Galsworthy's literary style is marked by his narrative eloquence and a keen observation of social mores, which he employed to critique the moral shortcomings of the British aristocracy. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932, he was celebrated for his thoughtful depiction of social issues and his commitment to humanism. Today, scholars and readers alike continue to explore Galsworthy's prolific contributions to English literature, with 'The Forsyte Saga' serving as a seminal work that offers a window into the complexities of human relationships against a backdrop of societal change.
