The Plays Of John Galsworthy
By John Galsworthy
Published by Duckworth: London 1929 1st Edition 2nd Impression

"The Plays of John Galsworthy, by John Galsworthy, was published by Duckworth in London in 1929 as the first edition, second impression. This substantial volume gathers together a selection of Galsworthy's most important dramatic works, reflecting his deep concern with social justice, moral conflict, and the tensions between individual conscience and societal convention. Known for his restrained yet powerful realism, Galsworthy's plays address issues such as class division, industrial strife, and the complexities of human relationships, continuing the themes that made him one of the leading literary voices of early twentieth-century Britain.

Written with precision and empathy, these dramas reveal Galsworthy's commitment to social reform and his belief in the quiet dignity of ordinary people. His characters are often caught between moral duty and personal desire, their struggles presented with psychological insight and ethical nuance. The plays also demonstrate his elegant craftsmanship—marked by natural dialogue, emotional restraint, and a sense of moral gravity that would later contribute to his Nobel Prize in Literature (1932).

This 1929 Duckworth edition represents an important compilation of Galsworthy's dramatic legacy, offering both literary merit and historical resonance. It would appeal to readers of early modern British theatre, admirers of Galsworthy's socially conscious writing, and collectors of interwar literary first editions."
