John Galsworthy
-
Standard Name: Galsworthy, John
JG
was a novelist and dramatist who began publishing just before the end of the nineteenth century. The series of novels for which he is now best known, The Forsyte Saga, is historical, since its story begins forty years before the first in the series appeared. In 1921 JG
became first president of the PEN Club
(later PEN International
) founded by Catharine Amy Dawson Scott
and Violet Hunt
, and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1922.
