Born into a wealthy family, John Galsworthy initially pursued law before becoming a celebrated novelist and playwright. His secret affair with Ada Nemesis Pearson Cooper lasted a decade before they married in 1905. Galsworthy gained recognition with works like "The Island Pharisees" and the Forsyte trilogy, addressing themes of social class and moral hypocrisy. He championed various social causes, including women's rights and prison reform. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932, Galsworthy's legacy endures through his critical examination of Edwardian society.
