Loyalties (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): A Drama in Three Acts

By John Galsworthy

This 1922 drama, set in the post-World War I era, concerns a wealthy young Jewish man who is robbed by a war hero fallen on hard times.  A searing yet fair indictment of anti-Semitism, the play dissects religion, class, and ethics in exposing the ugly roots of British racism.

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.
