John Galsworthy Books Overview

The Man of Property

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III DINNER AT SWITHINS IN Swithin’s orange and light blue dining room, facing the Park, the round table was laid for twelve. A cut glass chandelier filled with lighted candles hung like a giant stalactite above its centre, radiating over large giit framedT mirrors, slabs of marble on the tops of side tables, and heavy gold chairs with crewel worked seats. Everything betokened that love of beauty so deeply implanted in each family which has had its own way to make into Society, out of the more vulgar heart of Nature. Swithin had indeed an impatience of simplicity, a love of ormolu, which had always stamped him amongst his associates as a man of great, if somewhat luxurious taste; and out of the knowledge that no one could possibly enter his rooms without perceiving him to be a man of wealth, he had derived a solid and prolonged happiness such as perhaps no other circumstance in life had afforded him. Since his retirement from house agency, a profession deplorable in his estimation, especially as to its auctioneering department, he had abandoned himself to naturally aristocratic tastes. The perfect luxury of his latter days had embedded him like a fly in sugar; and his mind, where very little took place from morning till night, was the junction of. two curiously opposite emotions, a lingering and sturdysatisfaction that he had made his own way and his own fortune, and a sense that a man of his distinction should never have been allowed to soil his mind with work. He stood at the sideboard in a white waistcoat with large gold and onyx buttons, watching his valet screw the necks of three champagne bottles deeper into ice pails. Between the points of his stand up collar, which though it hurt him to move he would on no account have had altered, the pale flesh…

In Chancery

In Chancery, the second novel in John Galsworthy’s epic social satire The Forsyte Saga, follows the events of A Man of Property. After suffering the death of her lover and abuse from her husband Soames, Irene Forsyte finally leaves her marriage for good. Though socially disgraced by her affair, she forms a bond with the late Old Jolyon, a father of the Forsyte clan who had grown distant from the family after reconciling with one of his outcast sons. The young Jolyon had been disinherited after divorcing his wife to marry a penniless foreign governess. Now, with both his father and his beloved wife dead, the younger Jolyon finds himself drawn in sympathy to Irene, who was so dear to Old Jolyon in his final days. Their shared troubles blossom into a romance, to the horror of Soames Forsyte.

Excerpt: IV THE MAUSOLEUM THERE are houses whose souls have passed into the limbo of Time, leaving their bodies in the limbo of London. Such was not quite the condition of ‘Timothy’s’ on the Bayswater Road, for Timothy’s soul still had one foot in Timothy Forsyte’s body, and Smither kept the atmosphere unchanging, of camphor and port wine and house whose windows are only opened to air it twice a day. To Forsyte imagination that house was now a sort of Chinese pill box, a series of layers in the last of which was Timothy. One did not reach him, or so it was reported by members of the family who, out of old time habit or absent mindedness, would drive up once in a blue moon and ask after their surviving uncle. Such were Francie, now quite emancipated from God she frankly avowed atheism, Euphemia, emancipated from old Nicholas, and Winifred Dartie from her ‘man of the world.’ But, after all, everybody was emancipated now, or said they were perhaps not quite the same thing ! When Soames, therefore, took it on his way to Padding ton station on the morning after that encounter, it was hardly with the expectation of seeing Timothy in the flesh. His heart made a faint demonstration within him while he stood in full south sunlight on the newly whitened doorstep of that little house where four Forsytes had once lived, and now but one dwelt on like a winter fly; the house into which Soames had come and out of which he had gone times without number,…

The Silver Spoon

The Silver Spoon is the fifth volume in The Forsyte Chronicles, one of the most popular and enduring works of 20th century literature. In creating the many extraordinary members of the Forsyte family, the author also drew a fascinating and accurately detailed picture of the British propertied class, from the wealth and security of the mid Victorian era through the Edwardian high noon to a post War world of change, strikes, and social malaise. This volume carries on with the tale of Soames’ daughter Fleur. Married to Michael Mont, in line for a Barony, the story focuses on Michael’s start in Parliament and Fleur’s inherent dissatisfaction with her marriage, not unlike her father’s own experience only in this case it is Fleur who loves another. The American Frances Wilmont enters the scene bringing news that Fleur’s real love, Jon, forbidden to her as the son of her father’s ex wife, has married Wilmont’s sister. Fleur struggles to be happy and fulfilled, just as her father Soames did. The nine novels, which make up The Forsyte Chronicles one of the most popular and enduring works of 20th century literature chronicle the ebbing social power of the commercial upper middle class Forsyte family between 1886 and 1920. Galsworthy’s masterly narrative examines not only their fortunes but also the wider developments within society, particularly the changing position of women. The author has drawn a fascinating and accurately detailed picture of the British propertied class. Often incorrectly called The Forsyte Saga the nine novel sequence properly known as The Forsyte Chronicles contains three trilogies of which the first trilogy is The Forsyte Saga The Man of Property In Chancery To Let. The second trilogy A Modern Comedy The White Monkey The Silver Spoon Swan Song is followed by the third and concluding trilogy End of the Chapter Maid in Waiting Flowering Wilderness One More River.

On Forsyte Change

John Galsworthy OM 1867 1933 was an English novelist and playwright. He is viewed as one of the first writers of the Edwardian era; challenging in his works some of the ideals of society depicted in the preceeding literature of Victorian England. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932. Notable works include The Forsyte Saga 1906 1921 and its sequels, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter. From the Four Winds was Galsworthy’s first published work in 1897, a collection of short stories. These, and several subsequent works, were published under the pen name John Sinjohn and it would not be until The Island Pharisees 1904 that he would begin publishing under his own name. His first play, The Silver Box 1906 became a success, and he followed it up with The Man of Property 1906, the first in the Forsyte trilogy. Along with other writers of the time such as Shaw his plays addressed the class system and social issues, two of the best known being Strife 1909 and The Skin Game 1920.

Flowering Wilderness

The nine novels which make up The Forsyte Chronicles one of the most popular and enduring works of 20th century literature chronicle the ebbing social power of the commercial upper middle class Forsyte family between 1886 and 1920. Galsworthy’s masterly narrative examines not only their fortunes but also the wider developments within society, particularly the changing position of women.

He was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.

Over the River

This is the third volume in the first trilogy of The Forsyte Chronicles. Originally the English edition was called Over the River, and the American edition was titled One More River In this volume, completed six months before his death in January, 1933, Mr. Galsworthy brings to a happy conclusion the story of ‘Dinny’ Charwell, the most charming and completely realized of all Galsworthy hero*ines. The novel is one of strong emotions, dramatic situations, and continuous action from the beginning in which Clare, Dinny’s sister, fleeing to England from her sad*ist husband, falls in love and becomes hopelessly compromised with a penniless young Englishman; through the brilliant dialogue of the sensational divorce suit that follows; to the conclusion when Dinny ‘comes to shore on the far bank of her river’ and gains contentment. The contrasting romances of the two sisters, each working out of the shadows into the light, are set against the background of modern English society that the author knew so well and portrayed with so much sympathy and penetration.

He was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.

The Island Pharisees

A scathing satire on British upper-class hypocrisy by the author of The Forsyte Saga series Galsworthy’s first novel was also the one he came to define as his most important, and it set the template in style and content for all his subsequent work. Galsworthy wrote the novel as a wide-ranged traveler returned home, prepared to confront the entrenched and self-serving moneyed elite. The pharisaical egoism of England’s ruling class with which he was familiar, as a member remained his focus throughout most of his work. Told through the eyes of Richard Shelton, who can feel at home neither among his natural privileged class nor the poor of his acquaintance, this is a compelling satire on the hypocrisy of the upper clas*ses and the narrow-mindedness of the English abroad.

The Country House

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE BLISSFUL HOUR IT was the hour between tea and dinner; when the spirit of The Country House was resting, conscious of its virtue, half asleep. Having bathed and changed, George Pendyce took his betting book into the smoking room. In a nook devoted to literature, protected from draught and intrusion by a high leather screen, he sat down in an armchair and fell into a doze. With legs crossed, his chin resting on one hand, his comely figure relaxed, he exhaled a fragrance of soap, as though in this perfect peace his soul were giving off its natural odour. His spirit, on the borderland of dreams, trembled with those faint stirrings of chivalry and aspiration, the outcome of physical well being after a long day in the open air, the outcome of security from all that is unpleasant and fraught with danger. He was awakened by voices. ‘George is not a bad shot!’ ‘Gave a shocking exhibition at the last stand; Mrs. Bellew was with him. They were going over him like smoke; he could n’t touch a feather.’ It was Winlow’s voice. A silence, then Thomas Brandwhite’s: ‘A mistake, the ladies’ coming out. I never will have them myself. What do you say, Sir James?’ ‘Bad principle very bad!’ A laugh Thomas Brandwhite’s laugh, the laugh of a man never quite sure of himself. ‘That fellow Bellew is a cracked chap. They call him the ‘desperate character’ about here. Drinks like a fish, and rides like the devil. She used to go pretty hard, too. I ‘ve noticed there ‘s always a couple like that in a hunting country. Did you ever see him? Thin, high shouldered, white faced chap, with little dark eyes, and a red moustache?’ ‘She ‘s still a young woman?’ ‘Thirty or thirty two.’ ‘How was it they did n’t get on?’ The sound of a match being struck. ‘Case…

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III Hilary’s Brown Study ‘A/HAT do you really think Uncle Hilary?’ V Y Turning at his writing table to look at the face of his young niece, Hilary Dallison answered: ‘ My dear, we have had the same state of affairs since the beginning of the world. There is no chemical process, as far as my knowledge goes, that does not make waste products. What your grandfather calls our ‘shadows’ are the waste products of the social process. That there is a submerged tenth is as certain as that there is an emerged fiftieth like ourselves; exactly who they are and how they come, whether they can ever be improved away, is, I think, as uncertain as anything can be. ‘ The figure of the girl seated in the big armchair did not stir. Her lips pouted contemptuously, a frown wrinkled her forehead. ‘ Martin says that a thing is only impossible when we think it so.’ ‘Faith and the mountain, I ‘m afraid.’ Thyme’s foot shot forth; it nearly came into contact with Miranda, the little bulldog. ‘Oh, duckie!’ But the little moonlight bulldog backed away. ‘ I hate these slums, uncle; they ‘re so disgusting!’ Hilary leaned his face on his thin hand; it was his characteristic attitude. ‘They are hateful, disgusting, and heartrending. That does not make the problem any the less difficult, does it?’ ‘ I believe we simply make the difficulties ourselves by seeing them.’ Hilary smiled. ‘Does Martin say that too?’ ‘Of course he does.’ ‘Speaking broadly,’ murmured Hilary, ‘I see only one difficulty human nature.’ Thyme rose. ‘I think it horrible to have a low opinion of human nature.’ ‘My dear,’ said Hilary, ‘don’t you think perhaps that people who have what is called a low opinion of human nature are really more tolerant of it, more in love with it, in fac…

Excerpt from book: THE PRISONER ON a fine day of early summer in a London garden, before the birds had lost their Spring song, or the trees dropped their last blossoms, our friend said suddenly: ‘Why! there’s a goldfinch!’ Blackbirds there were, and thrushes, and ti*ts in plenty, an owl at night, and a Christopher Columbus of a cuckoo, who solemnly, once a year, mistook this green island of trees for the main lands of Kent and Surrey, but a goldfinch never! ‘I hear it over there!’ he said again, and, getting up, he walked towards the house. When he came back, our friend sat down again, and observed: ‘I didn’t know that you kept a cage bird!’ We admitted that our cook had a canary. ‘A mule!’ he remarked, very shortly. Some strong feeling had evidently been aroused in him that neither of us could understand. Suddenly he burst out: ‘I can’t bear things in cages; animals, birds, or men. I hate to see or think of them.’ And looking at us angrily, as though we had taken an advantage in drawing from him this confession, he went on quickly: ‘I was staying in a German town some years ago, with a friend who was making inquiries into social matters. He asked me one day to go over a prison with him. I had never seen one, then, and I agreed. It was just such a day as this a perfectly clear sky, and there was that cool, dancing sparkle on everything that you only see in some parts of Germany. This prison, which stood in the middle of the town, was one of those shaped like a star, that have been built over there on the plan of Pen tonville. The system, they told us, was the same that you might have seen working here many years ago. The Germans were then, and still, no doubt, are, infatuated with the idea of muring their prisoners up in complete solitude. But it was a new toy to them t…

Excerpt from book: pinks, spread her fingers and let them drop. They showered all over his face and neck. Never was so wonderful a scent; never such a strange feeling as they gave him. They clung to his hair, his forehead, his eyes, one even got caught on the curve of his lips; and he stared up at her through their fringed petals. There must have been something wild in his eyes then, something of the feeling that was stinging his heart, for her smile died; she walked away, and stood with her face turned from him. Confused, and unhappy, he gathered the strewn flowers; and not till he had collected every one did he get up and shyly take them to her, where she still stood, gazing into the depths of the larch wood. What did he know of women, that should make him understand? At his public school he had seen none to speak to; at Oxford, only this one. At home in the holidays, not any, save his sister Cicely. The two hobbies of their guardian, fishing, and the antiquities of his native county, rendered him averse to society; so that his little Devonshire manor house, with its black oak panels and its wild stonewalled park along the river side was, from year’s end to year’s end, innocent of all petticoats, save those of Cicely and old Miss Tring, the governess. Then, too, the boy was shy. No, there was nothing in his past, of not yet quite nineteen years, to go by. He was not of those youths who are alwaysthinking of conquests. The very idea of conquest seemed to him vulgar, mean, horrid. There must be many signs indeed before it would come into his head that a woman was in love with him, especially the one to whom he looked up, and thought so beautiful. For before all beauty he was humble, inclined to think himself a clod. It was the part of life which was always unconsciously sacred, and to be app…

Beyond

Over the garden, the day brooded in the first gathered warmth of summer. Mid June of a fine year. The air was drowsy with hum and scent. And Gyp, sitting in the shade, while the puppies rolled and snapped, searched her little world for comfort and some sense of safety, and could not find it; as if there were all round her a hot heavy fog in which things lurked, and where she kept erect only by pride and the will not to cry out that she was struggling and afraid. Fiorsen, leaving his house that morning, had walked till he saw a taxi cab. Leaning back therein, with hat thrown off, he caused himself to be driven rapidly, at random. This was one of his habits when his mind was not at ease an expensive idiosyncrasy, ill afforded by a pocket that had holes. The swift motion and titillation by the perpetual close shaving of other vehicles were sedative to him. He needed sedatives this morning. To wake in his own bed without the least remembering how he had got there was no more new to him than to many another man of twenty eight, but it was new since his marriage. If he had remembered even less he would have been more at ease. But he could just recollect standing in the dark drawing room, seeing and touching a ghostly Gyp quite close to him. And, somehow, he was afraid. And when he was afraid like most people he was at his worst.

ORG In the year there dwelt on Hampstead Heath a small thin gentleman of fifty eight, gentle disposition, and independent means, whose wits had become somewhat addled from reading the writings and speeches of public men. The castle which, like every Englishman, he inhabited was embedded in lilac bushes and laburnums, and was attached to another castle, embedded, in deference to our national dislike of uniformity, in acacias and laurustinus. Our gentleman, whose name was John Lavender, had until the days of the Great War passed one of those curious existences are sometimes to be met with, in doing harm to nobody. He had been brought up to the Bar, but like most barristers had never practised, and had spent his time among animals and the wisdom of the past. At the period in which this record opens he owned a young female sheep dog called Blink, with beautiful eyes obscured by hair; and was attended to by a thin and energetic housekeeper, in his estimation above all weakness, whose name was Marian Petty, and by her husband, his chauffeur, whose name was Joe.

Awakening / To Let

Emerging from the ‘pastry cook’s,’ Soames’ first impulse was to vent his nerves by saying to his daughter: ‘Dropping your hand kerchief!’ to which her reply might well be: ‘I picked that up from you!’ His second impulse therefore was to let sleeping dogs lie. But she would surely question him. Volume III in the Forsyte series.

Indian Summer Of A Forsyte / In Chancery

The little spirits of the past which throng an old man’s days had never pushed their faces up to his so seldom as in the seventy hours elapsing before Sunday came. The spirit of the future, with the charm of the unknown, put up her lips instead. Old Jolyon was not restless now, and paid no visits to the log, because she was coming to lunch. Volume II in the Forsyte Saga.

Excerpt from book: THE DEAD MAN In the spring of the year 1950 a lawyer and his friend were sitting over their wine and walnuts. The lawyer said: ‘In turning over my father’s papers the other day, I came across this cutting from a newspaper. It is dated December, 19 . Rather a singular document. If you like I’ll read it to you.’ ‘Do,’ said the friend. The lawyer began to read: ‘Some sensation was caused in a London police court yesterday by a poorly dressed but respectable looking man who applied to the magistrate for advice. We give the conversation verbatim: ‘Your Worship, may I ask you a question?’ ‘If it is one that I can answer.’ ‘It’s just this: Am I alive?’ ‘Go away!’ ‘Your Worship, I am perfectly serious. It’s a matter of vital importance to me to know; I am a chain maker.’ ‘Are you sane?’ ‘Your Worship, I am quite sane.’ ‘Then what do you mean by coming here and asking me a question like that ? ‘ ‘Your Worship, I am out of work.’ ‘What has that to do with it?’ ‘Your Worship, it’s like this. I’ve been out of work, through no fault of my own, for two months. Your Worship has heard, no doubt, that there are hundreds of thousands of us chaps.’ ‘Well, go on!’ ‘Your Worship, I don’t belong to a union; as you know, there’s no union to my trade.’ ‘Yes, yes.’ ‘Your Worship, I came to the end of my resources three weeks ago. I’ve done my best to get work, but I’ve not been successful.’ ‘Have you applied to the distress committee of your district?’ ‘I have, your Worship; but they are full up.’ ‘Have you been to the parish authorities?’ ‘Yes, your Worship; and to the parson.’ ‘Haven’t you any relations or friends to help you?’ ‘Half of them, your Worship, are in my condition, and I’ve exhausted the others.’ ‘You’ve ?’ ‘E…

Five Plays

John Galsworthy, novelist, dramatist, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, 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 raised.

The Eldest Son and the Little Dream

John Galsworthy was one of the great British writers of the early 20th century, and won a Nobel Prize for his work. Galsworthy was a dramatist of considerable technical skill. His plays often took up specific social grievances such as the double standard of justice as applied to the upper and lower clas*ses; and the confrontation of capital and labor. In 1890 he was called to the bar, but he never practiced law. The Little Dream was written in 1911. In 1930, the Australian composer, Mirrie Hill, O.B.E., based an orchestral suite of five pieces on the play. Written in the early months of 1909, accidents happy and unhappy prevented the performance of The Eldest Son earlier than November 1912. Another entry in Galsworthy’s chronicle of the decline of the upper middle clas*ses: the eldest son is expected to marry well and settle down, but has instead impregnated the maid.

The Pigeon and the Mob

About the Author John Galsworthy was one of the great British writers of the early 20th century, and won a Nobel Prize for his work. Galsworthy was a dramatist of considerable technical skill. His plays often took up specific social grievances such as the double standard of justice as applied to the upper and lower clas*ses; and the confrontation of capital and labor. Galsworthy’s reaction to the First World War found its expression in The Mob 1914, in which the voice of a statesman is drowned in the madness of the war hungry mas*ses. The Pigeon also discloses to us the inadequacy of charity, individual and organized, to cope with poverty, as well as the absurdity of reformers and experimenters who attempt to patch up effects while they ignore the causes.

MRS. BARTHWICK. Lady Holyrood told me: ‘I had her up,’ she said; ‘I said to her, ‘You’ll leave my house at once; I think your conduct disgraceful. I can’t tell, I don’t know, and I don’t wish to know, what you were doing. I send you away on principle; you need not come to me for a character.’ And the girl said: ‘If you don’t give me my notice, my lady, I want a month’s wages. I’m perfectly respectable.

Censorship and Art

Having observed that there is no reason whatever for the exemption of Literature, let us now turn to the case of Art. Every picture hung in a gallery, every statue placed on a pedestal, is exposed to the public stare of a mixed company. Why, then, have we no Censorship to protect us from the possibility of encountering works that bring blushes to the cheek of the young person?
