Description
"End of the Chapter" by John Galsworthy, First US Edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1934. "1934" imprinted on the title page, "copyright 1933, 1934" and Scribner's colophon on the copyright page. Third and concluding part of the Forsyte Chronicles; includes three books: Maid in Waiting, Flowering Wilderness, and Over the River.
Hard boards, original green cloth, gold initial on front board, and gold lettering on spine [some soiling and a little spine fading]; 5.3/4" x 8.3/4"; private ex-libris inside front cover; frontispiece photo of John Galworthy in 1930, 897 pages + publisher's ads, very good condition.
In this final volume of The Forsyte Chronicles, Galsworthy writes about the lives and loves of the Cherrell family, cousins of the Forsytes. For centuries, the Cherrell sons have left their home of Condaford Grange to serve the state as soldiers, clergymen and administrators, but the 1930s bring uncertainty in a world of rapidly altering morals and unemployment. Galsworthy's portrayal of the effect of political change on individuals show him as a great social novelist as well as the author of one of the most gripping family sagas ever written.
"Galsworthy has moved his prose and personalities right into the 20th Century. Very spot-on for political and social attitudes, according to historical information. These are not always comfortable for the 21st Century politically-correct global-speak, but as literature, which is now part of the historical base, excellent viewing. He writes as he finds. The last book is his final bow, in that he dies soon after publication. The whole series is worth having on one's shelf." [a review]
John Galsworthy OM [1867-1933] was an English novelist and playwright. He is best known for his trilogy of novels collectively called The Forsyte Saga, and two later trilogies, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter. He was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Literature.
