    About this ebook

    This 1916 collection includes such topics as "On Prisons and Punishment" and "On the Position of Women."  In his Author's Note, Galsworthy defended his pleas for reform:  "The war will not last for ever, and in the peace that follows life will be rougher, [and] the need for those pleas more insistent even than it was."

    John Galsworthy

    John Galsworthy was a Nobel-Prize (1932) winning English dramatist, novelist, and poet born to an upper-middle class family in Surrey, England. He attended Harrow and trained as a barrister at New College, Oxford. Although called to the bar in 1890, rather than practise law, Galsworthy travelled extensively and began to write. It was as a playwright Galsworthy had his first success. His plays—like his most famous work, the series of novels comprising The Forsyte Saga—dealt primarily with class and the social issues of the day, and he was especially harsh on the class from which he himself came.
