John Galsworthy, who was among the first widely read authors of the Edwardian era, published the first book in The Forsyte Saga (A Man of Property) in 1906, while and the others followed between 1918 and 1921. The books that make up the sequel, A Modern Comedy, followed between 1924 and 1928 and the last book of The End of the Chapter, the second series of sequels, was published posthumosly in 1933. Thus it took almost 30 years - a whole generation of reading - for this remarkable example of a family saga to reach the bookshelves.
