Introduction.
In order to find the importance of the creative activity and the environment where John Galsworthy known as a writer ,we should look up at the atmosphere, which dominated in the English literature at the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century .The Great realistic writers stepped backwards from literature, and their followers were very few to struggle against the anti realistic movement which was supported by the British Empire.The weight of literature which was fabulous and with “the happy end",met the demands of book markets grew day by day.On the other hand,after World War I ,such kind of writers as V.Wolf, D.H.Lawrence, J.Joyce, Th.Eliot called Galsworthy “the author of the past era".For proving this accuse they give an alibi that ,they had new experiments such as retrospectivity ¹ (J.Joyce),subconscious² (V .Wolf),and open writings about love and passion (D.H.Lawrence) .
John Galsworthy was a successive supporter of a real Art ,believed in its transforming power and benevolent influence over the society.
Biography of him.
John Galsworthy was born in 1867,on 14th August, was a English novelist and playwright, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.
Galsworthy’s family, of Devonshire farming stock traceable to the 16th century, had made a comfortable fortune in property in the 19th century. His father was a solicitor. Educated at Harrow and New College, Oxford, Galsworthy was called to the bar in 1890.With a view to specializing in marine law ,he took a voyage around the world ,during which he encountered Joseph Conrad,then mate of a merchant ship .They became lifelong friends, Galsworthy found law uncongenial and took to writing. For his first works,”From the Four Winds"(1897), a collection of short stories, and the novel “Jocelyn “(1898),both published at his own expense, he used the pseudonym John Sinjohn.”The Island Pharisees “(1904) was first book to appear under his own name.
Galsworthy was also a successful dramatist, his plays,written in a naturalistic style, usually examining some controversial ethical or social problem.They include “The Silver Box"(1906),which,like many of his other works,has a legal theme and depicts a bitter contrast of the law's treatment of the rich and the poor; “Strife"(1909) a study of industrial relations;”Justice “(1910) a realistic portrayal of prison life that roused so much feeling that it led to reform; and “Loyalties"(1922),the best of his later plays

²A replacement for the unconscious mind.
In 1905 Galsworthy married Ada Pearson, the divorced wife of his first cousin,A.J.Galsworty. Galsworthy had,in secret,been closely associated with his future wife for about ten years before their marriage. Irene in “The Forsyte Saga" is to some extent a portrait of Ada Galsworthy, although her first husband was wholly unlike Soames Forsyte.
Galsworthy’s novels,by their abstention from complicated psychology and their greatly simplified social viewpoint, became accepted as faithful patterns of English life for a time.Galsworthy is remembered for this evocation of Victorian and Edwardian upper middle-class life and for his creation of Soames Forsyte, a dislikable character who nevertheless compels the reader’s sympathy.
