Beskrivning
John Galsworthy (1867-1933), novelist and dramatist, is most widely known as the author of The Forsyte Saga, but recent productions testify to the power that his plays still exert over modern audiences and the strength and relevance of the issues he raise In Strife, Galsworthy deals with industrial relations; in Justice, with prison life - it was one of the few plays to effect real reforms. The Eldest Son is also about injustice - one law for the rich, another for the poor; The Skin Game, Galsworthy's first commercial success, presents class conflict; while Loyalties, 'a crime drama', is about division and prejudice.John Galsworthy is a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature

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 His earlier works, published under the pseudonym John Sinjohn, were withdrawn and The Island Pharisee (1904) instated as his first important work.The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921) is Galsworthy's most famous novel: a lengthy examination of an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.
