Autorenporträt

John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and playwright, noted for his portrayal of the British upper middle class and for his social criticism. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy's literary career was marked by a commitment to social issues and a meticulous, often understated, style. His works reflect his deep concern for social justice and depict the struggles of life with both sympathy and moral earnestness. Best known for his Forsyte Saga, a series of novels which chronicle the ebbing social power of an upper-middle-class English family, Galsworthy's writing is characterized by its narrative breadth and depth. The richness of his characters and the detailed examination of their personal lives set Galsworthy apart from his contemporaries. His plays, though less known than his novels, also exhibit his characteristic insight and empathy. 'Six Short Plays', a collection drawing upon themes of marital strife, social inequality, and profound human emotion, showcases Galsworthy's dramatic talents. Each play in the collection is concise, yet dense with meaning and potent in its social commentary, highlighting Galsworthy's skill as a dramatist. Throughout his career, John Galsworthy remained a dedicated chronicler of English society, with a keen eye for the subtleties of class and the complexities of human relationships. His literary contributions continue to be celebrated for their elegant prose, narrative sophistication, and deep humanism.
