About the Author
John Galsworthy was born in 1867 and educated at Harrow and New College, Oxford. He was called to the bar but a chance meeting with Joseph Conrad, and the strong influence of his future wife, turned him to writing. The first volume of The Forsyte Saga was published in 1922. The second volume was published in 1929, and the final volume was published posthumously in 1934.
