À propos de l'auteur
John Galsworthy (1867–1933) was a renowned English novelist and playwright, who is best remembered for his insightful and evocative portrayal of the British upper middle class. Galsworthy's literary style is distinguished by its narrative elegance and profound character analyses, often reflecting on the societal values, materialism, and class hierarchies of his time. His work exemplifies the transition of Victorian society into the modern era, with nuanced depictions of social change and personal struggle. 'The Dark Flower' (1913), is one of his notable works that explores the theme of love across different stages of life, embodying Galsworthy's keen observation of human passion and its complexities. His magnum opus, however, is 'The Forsyte Saga,' a series that unravels the lives of an affluent Victorian family, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy's contribution to literature is not only marked by his novels but also by his plays such as 'Strife' and 'The Silver Box,' in which he critically addresses social issues with a particular focus on moral conflicts and the social injustices of his age. His literary legacy continues to influence readers and scholars by offering a rich perspective on the evolving dynamics of early twentieth-century England.
