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.
