The Foresyte Saga

The Foresyte Saga


The Foresyte Saga (1922) is John Galsworthy's most recognized work, published as three volumes:
Volume 1: The Man of Property
Volume 2: Indian Summer of a Foresyte, and In Chancery
Volume 3: Awakening, and To Let

TO MY WIFE:

I DEDICATE THE FORSYTE SAGA IN ITS ENTIRETY, 
BELIEVING IT TO BE OF ALL MY WORKS THE LEAST 
UNWORTHY OF ONE WITHOUT WHOSE ENCOURAGEMENT, 
SYMPATHY AND CRITICISM I COULD NEVER HAVE 
BECOME EVEN SUCH A WRITER AS I AM.
