The Forsyte Saga\Die Forsyte Saga, englische Ausgabe
The three novels which make up The Forsyte Saga chronicle the
ebbing social power of the commerical upper-middle class Forsyte
family between 1886 and 1920. Soames Forsyte is the brilliantly
portrayed central figure, a Victorian who outlives the age, and
whose baffled passion for his beautiful but unresponsive wife Irene
reverberates throughout the saga.
Written with both compassion and ironic detachment,
Galsworthy's masterly narrative examines not only the
family's fortunes but also the wider developments within
society, particularly the changing position of women in an
intensely competitive male world. Above all, Galsworthy is
concerned with the conflict at the heart of English culture between
the soulless materialism of wealth and property and the humane
instincts of love, beauty, and art.
