With a new Introduction by Professor Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.
The Forsyte Saga is Galsworthy’s enduringly popular masterpiece. Initially, the plot centres on Soames Forsyte, a successful solicitor living in London with his
beautiful wife, Irene.
A pillar of the late-Victorian upper middle class, wealthy and well-connected, he seems to lead an enviable life. But beneath the respectable exterior lie acute tensions and frustrations. The marriage of Soames and Irene culminates in sexual violence and recriminations. The consequent feud within the family will be long-lasting, with ironic and dramatic outcomes.
In The Forsyte Saga, John Galsworthy analyses the achievements, confusions and hypocrisies of an era.
This renowned chronicle of a divided dynasty, repeatedly filmed and televised, has engrossed audiences internationally.
