JOHN GALSWORTHY: LOYALTIES (With Text)

John Galsworthy highlighted the social problems of the early twentieth-century England in his writings. A versatile artist, his novels as well as plays were the outcome of his concern for contemporary society. Galsworthy dealt with the hardships and sufferings of the underdog and advocated social reforms. In Loyalties, he realistically portrayed the Englishmen’s prejudices against the Jews through Ferdinand De Levis, who is a house-guest of Charles Winsor and Lady Adela at Meldon Court and who is robbed of £ 1000 by another guest, an Englishman. Even though others know that Dancy is guilty, they do not wish to indict him as he is a fellow Christian and an Englishman. When finally his guilt is proved beyond doubt, Dancy commits suicide. This critical study, originally prepared by Dr. Raghukul Tilak, it has been thoroughly revised, edited and updated by Prof. Shakti Batra.
