John Galsworthy

Galsworthy, John (1867–1933), English novelist and playwright. His novels of the Forsyte family, grouped in trilogies—The Forsyte Saga (1922), A Modern Comedy (1928), and End of the Chapter (1934)—depict the life and attitudes of the English upper-middle classes, typical of the “man of property” Soames Forsyte. Galsworthy was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932.
