With growing age Galsworthy came more and more to identify himself with the world of his novels, which at first he had judged very harshly. To these should be added On Forsyte Change (1930), a collection of short stories.
The Forsyte Saga was continued y the three volumes of A Modern Comedy, The White Monkey (1924), The Silver Spoon (1926), Swan Song (1928), and its two interludes A Silent Wooing and Passersby (1927). Meanwhile he had written a considerable number of novels, short stories, and plays. Galsworthy did not immediately continue it fifteen years and with them the First World War intervened until he resumed work on the history of the Forsytes with In Chancery (1920) and To Let (1921). The Man of Property was a harsh criticism of the upper middle classes, Galsworthy’s own background. The first novel of this vast work appeared in 1906. As a novelist Galsworthy is chiefly known for his roman fleuve, The Forsyte Saga. He considered The Island Pharisees (1904) his first important work. His first stories were published under the pseudonym John Sinjohn and later were withdrawn. He travelled widely and at the age of twenty-eight began to write, at first for his own amusement. J ohn Galsworthy (1867-1933) was educated at Harrow and studied law at New College, Oxford.
