Autorenporträt
John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was a renowned English novelist and playwright, best known for his literary contributions that often reflected upon the social strata and moral concerns of the early 20th century. Galsworthy's works, characterised by a clear, undecorated style and a shrewd penetration of character, were influenced by his own class background and the changing society around him. Born in Kingston Hill, Surrey, to a wealthy and established family, he was educated at Harrow and Oxford, where he initially pursued a career in law before turning to writing as his lifelong vocation. His collection 'Villa Rubein, and Other Stories' is indicative of his narrative prowess, encapsulating a range of human experiences and societal issues within its prose. Galsworthy's nuanced character portraits are considered precursors to modernist literature, focusing on internal psychologies and social nuance. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, a testament to his impact on the literary world. Best remembered for his trilogy 'The Forsyte Saga,' his writings offer a window into the Edwardian and post-Victorian era that defined his social milieu and the core of his literary explorations.
