Country House
Published in 1901, 'The Country House' by John Galsworthy examines the lives of the Pendyce family, members of the English landed gentry, as they face the threat of scandal due to a potential divorce. The novel delves into themes of family honor, social mores, and the impending changes in society, portrayed through the intricate emotions of its main characters. Galsworthy, who belonged to this privileged class, critiques the social structure while expressing sympathy for those trapped within it, making this work a precursor to his more famous 'The Forsyth Saga.'
