JOHN GALSWORTHY (1867-1933), English novelist and playwright, went to Oxford to study law but turned to literature after he met Joseph Conrad on a voyage. The Man of Property (1906), the first of the 'Forsyte Chronicles', established his reputation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.
''[The Forsyte Chronicles are] a social satire of epic proportions and one that does not suffer by comparison with Thackeray's Vanity Fair ...the whole comedy of manners, convincing both in its fidelity to life and as a work of art.'' --New York Times
