Riassunto

John Galsworthy (1867-1933), novelist and dramatist, is most widely known as the author of The Forsyte Saga, but recent productions testify to the power that his plays still exert over modern audiences and the strength and relevance of the issues he raise Strife charts the progress of an industrial strike, seen from both the workers' and directors' points of view as well as the directors and looks at the relationship between wives across the class divide as they attempt to persuade their obdurate husbands to broker a deal.

John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and dramatist. Having begun to write in his twenties for his own amusement, he later adopted a more considered approach. His earlier works, published under the pseudonym John Sinjohn, were withdrawn and The Island Pharisee (1904) instated as his first important work. The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921) is Galsworthy's most famous novel: a lengthy examination of an upper-middle class family, its scope, and impact earned Galsworthy the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy was also renowned for his drama. His plays, often social in nature, were monuments of technical skill and execution.
