Galsworthy Story
W HEN The Man ot Property was first published in 1906 its author, John Galsworthy, was only 39, and the book helped to establish him as a writer, This first part of The Forsyte Saga has become as popular with listeners as with readers, and the serial now being heard from 3YC on Mondays and 1YC on Wednesdays is the second produced by the BBC. Muriel Levy, who wrote the
radio adaptation, says that The Man of Property shows us Beauty striving to find its place in an ugly possessive world. "It is also," she says, "a study of the upper middle class in Victorian England. Above all, it is a human story with weak and strong characters jostling for place. They hate each other, these Forsytes, but they love each other, too; and woe betide anyone who tries to smirch the family character!"
