Galsworthy, John

Japanese: ゴールズワージー（英語表記）Galsworthy， John

Born 14 August 1867, Kingston Hill, Surrey
[died] 31 January 1933, London. British novelist and playwright. Born into a wealthy lawyer's family, he graduated from Harrow School and Oxford University. After qualifying as a lawyer, he sailed around the world and met Conrad, who was a sailor on a merchant ship. In 1906, he achieved success with the novel The Man of Property, and completed The Forsyte Saga with In Chancery (1920), To Let (21), and a series of short stories. This epic novel depicts the rise and fall of the upper-middle-class Forsyte family, spanning the period from the late 19th century to the period after World War I, and tells the story of the clash between the strong materialistic desires of the first generation, who created and maintained Britain's former greatness, and the pursuit of freedom and pleasure of the next generation. The Forsyte family's story was continued as a trilogy, A Modern Comedy (29). His plays, such as The Silver Box (06), Strife (09), and Justice (10), were well received. In these works, Galsworthy criticizes the 19th century social order, but at the same time, he also fears its complete collapse and cherishes it, showing a kind of incomplete attitude. In 1921, he was elected the first president of the International PEN Club. In 1932, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

イギリスの小説家，劇作家。裕福な弁護士の家に育ち，ハロー校を経てオックスフォード大学を卒業。弁護士資格を得たが，世界周航の旅に出て，商船に乗組んでいたコンラッドと知合った。 1906年，小説『資産家』 The Man of Propertyで成功，『裁判沙汰』 In Chancery (1920) ，『貸家』 To Let (21) および短編を加えて『フォーサイト・サガ』 The Forsyte Sagaを完成。上層中流階級のフォーサイト家の消長を描くこの大河小説は，19世紀後半から第1次世界大戦後の時期にわたり，イギリスの昔日の強大さをつくり上げ，維持してきた第1世代のたくましい物欲と，自由や快楽を追求する次代との衝突の様相が語られる。フォーサイト家の記録は，さらに3部作『現代喜劇』A Modern Comedy (29) として書き続けられた。戯曲では『銀の箱』 The Silver Box (06) ，『闘争』 Strife (09) ，『正義』 Justice (10) などが好評であった。これらの作品におけるゴールズワージーには，19世紀的社会秩序を批判しながらも，その完全な崩壊を恐れてそれを愛惜するような，いわば不徹底な姿勢が認められる。 21年国際ペンクラブ初代会長に選ばれた。 32年ノーベル文学賞受賞。
