1922 Plays Of John Galsworthy Antique Theatre & Literature Book Eldest Son

The Plays Of John Galsworthy **
Includes The Eldest Son, The Little Dream and Justice
By John Galsworthy
Published by Duckworth And Co: London 1922 New Impression

"The Plays of John Galsworthy, published by Duckworth and Co. in London in 1922 (New Impression), includes three of Galsworthy's most acclaimed works—The Eldest Son, The Little Dream, and Justice. Together, these plays exemplify his mastery of social realism and moral inquiry, exploring the conflicts between conscience, duty, and the rigid conventions of early twentieth-century English society. The Eldest Son examines questions of inheritance, class, and moral hypocrisy within the landed gentry; The Little Dream departs into a symbolist realm, portraying an Alpine shepherd's vision of an ideal world; while Justice—arguably his most powerful drama—offers a searing indictment of the British penal system and its dehumanizing treatment of individuals.

Galsworthy's restrained dialogue, psychological insight, and humane perspective reveal his conviction that art should illuminate social wrongs and inspire reform. His plays combine elegance of form with deep compassion, giving voice to those silenced by class, circumstance, or convention.

This 1922 Duckworth edition represents an important compilation of Galsworthy's dramatic achievements during a period when his reputation as a moral dramatist and social reformer was firmly established. It would appeal to readers of classic theatre, students of Edwardian literature, and collectors of influential early twentieth-century drama."
