The three novels of The Forsyte Saga have been adapted for the cinema many times. Galsworthy was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932. His earliest successes were in the theatre, and his best known play The Skin Game (1920) was adapted as a film by the young director Alfred Hitchcock in 1931. He wrote an enormous number of novels, stories, and plays. John Galsworthy is now something of a forgotten literary figure, but he was very popular in the Edwardian and Georgian periods. Dramatic interest centres on unhappy marriages, the problems of divorce, and the powerful influence of one generation on the next. The story covers the events and history of a large upper middle-class family between the late Victorian era and the 1920s. The Forsyte Saga is the best-known work of English novelist John Galsworthy (1867-1933). Tutorial, commentary, study resources, plot summary
