Biographie

Né dans le Surrey, en 1867, John Galsworthy est issu d'une famille d'hommes de loi et fut lui-même avocat. Peu attiré par sa profession, il publie ses premiers romans en 1898, sous pseudonyme. Mais sa véritable carrière littéraire débute en 1904 avec Les Pharisiens de l'île, où il s'attaque aux classes possédantes. Une même approche critique des notables caractérise son chef-d'œuvre, La Dynastie des Forsyte. Publiée de 1906 à 1928, elle constitue une vaste fresque, de l'ère victorienne à l'entre-deux-guerres. Il meurt en 1933, à Hampstead, un an après avoir reçu le prix Nobel de Littérature.
