A NEW HISTORICIST APPROACH TO JOHN GALSWORTY’S THE FORSYTE SAGA

Abstract

Abstract: The Forsyte Saga, a landmark work by John Galsworthy, is examined in this article using a New Historicist perspective. The article examines how Galsworthy's portrayal of the Forsyte family reflects and responds to the social, political, and cultural challenges of the time by placing the novel within the historical framework of late 19th and early 20th century England. Examining how these themes relate to more general historical events and movements of the time, like the advent of modernism and shifting social standards, the piece explores topics like wealth, class, marriage, and morality.
