Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Galsworthy: An Appreciation and a Bibliography John Galsworthy is an artist in the sense that the Russian novelist Turgenev was an artist, and the great Frenchman, de Maupassant. These three writers do not try to give chunks of life in the rough, life just as it is, full of irrelevancies, crowded with distracting details and broken threads. Many modern writers have tried to reproduce this chaos, but the art I am speaking of is more exacting, it seeks to penetrate to the essentials so that it may interpret life, and to do this it must focus, eliminating what is not essential from what is. Self-restraint, delicacy, a fine sense of form, all are necessary to this type of art; no gush and no blood - and-thunder, and no intrusion of author standing between what he writes and his reader. That does not rule out personality; personality is like the scent of a flower - unseen but known, one of the most precious gifts of authorship. As an artist Galsworthy has made an extraordinary advance. Some writers produce a vivid personal work, a masterpiece perhaps quite early, and never reach that level of expression again. Galsworthy is not among these, he found himself gradually. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: A characteristic of every age is its group of popular writers. These writers at once concentrate and give out the spirit of their age--they are representative. Literature has many names of pioneers and apostles, who were ahead of or out of sympathy with their times, but these were never popular. The popular writer is essentially a man who conforms to his period; it is true that his conformity must have life and vigor, it must have nothing in it of the echo or the slave, it may even be disguised rather transparently as revolt--but whatever enterprises and excursions he allows himself, he remembers that there are certain bases which he must keep, and to which after every expedition he must come back. These bases are either the conventional ideas of his time, or the conventional methods of attacking them--the two are for such purposes the same. Indeed Galsworthy can hardly be called a "popular" writer. I am not using the word in a contemptuous sense, but to describe a writer who is widely read. Galsworthy will never be widely read, for he alienates two important sets of readers--those who insist that a book shall teach them something, and those who with equal force insist that it shall teach them nothing. He fails the first class because, while supplying its demands, he does not satisfy the conditions it imposes. He undoubtedly has something to teach, but he avoids the direct appeal, which is what the public wants. Direct and open championship is the only way of making a cause popular--let us be broad-minded, by all means, but agreeing that "there may be something to say on the other side" is very different from finding out what that something is, and saying it. Also he is too sensitive, too moderate, too well balanced to please the "improvement-above-all-things" reader, whose perceptions are not of the subtlest. On the other hand, he puts himself out of touch with those who do not want to be taught, because he undoubtedly has a propaganda, and is not an artist purely for art's sake. Between himself and the numbers who would unhesitatingly admire him as a man of letters he raises the barrier of ideas which, while too subtly expressed to satisfy those who clamor for instruction, are quite decided enough to cut off those who object to it. "Sheila Kaye Smith has written a sympathetic and discriminating study of John Galsworthy. She ranks the plays first, 'Strife' at the head; then the novels, then the sketches, last the poems....She analyses his attitude toward life as that of the reformer and the artist combined, the artist predominating. His strongest element is situation rather than character; his predisposition is toward suffering, and humor becomes in him irony....He paints life simply as he sees it, not as it may be altered by determination....Galsworthy's sense for beauty and fitness of word never fails, he is ever the poet in prose, the master of concise expressive language. His admirers will like this essay and it may help those who demand that he be other than he is to understand and value one of the real artists of our time." -The Independent "A compact, readable little biography by the author of that substantial novel, 'Sussex Gorse.' Not all readers of Galsworthy will agree with Miss Kay-Smith's well-supported contention that Galsworthy is a great dramatist but not a great novelist, - especially will those differ with her who have read his earlier novels, 'The Man of Property,' and 'The Country House.'" - The Open Shelf CONTENTS Introduction The Plays.

Book excerpt: John Galsworthy OM (1867-1933) was an English novelist and playwright. He is viewed as one of the first writers of the Edwardian era; challenging in his works some of the ideals of society depicted in the preceeding literature of Victorian England. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932. Notable works include The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921) and its sequels, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter. From the Four Winds was Galsworthy s first published work in 1897, a collection of short stories. These, and several subsequent works, were published under the pen name John Sinjohn and it would not be until The Island Pharisees (1904) that he would begin publishing under his own name. His first play, The Silver Box (1906) became a success, and he followed it up with The Man of Property (1906), the first in the Forsyte trilogy. Along with other writers of the time such as Shaw his plays addressed the class system and social issues, two of the best known being Strife (1909) and The Skin Game (1920).
