About this ebook
This 1912 drama, subtitled "A Fantasy," is a sharp satire on the hypocrisies of those who set themselves up to help the less fortunate but who are really pursuing selfish agendas. Here Christopher Wellwyn, an artist of limited means, generously shares all that he has with anyone in need of it, alienating his practical daughter, Ann.
John Galsworthy
John Galsworthy was a Nobel-Prize (1932) winning English dramatist, novelist, and poet born to an upper-middle class family in Surrey, England. He attended Harrow and trained as a barrister at New College, Oxford. Although called to the bar in 1890, rather than practise law, Galsworthy travelled extensively and began to write. It was as a playwright Galsworthy had his first success. His plays—like his most famous work, the series of novels comprising The Forsyte Saga—dealt primarily with class and the social issues of the day, and he was especially harsh on the class from which he himself came.
