Strife And Other Plays

John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was one of the finest intellects and dramatic forces of the English stage of his time. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932. This collection presents "Strife," perhaps Galsworthy's finest play, which documents the human consequences of a labour strike on both the unemployed workers and the company executives. Also included are three short plays: "Defeat," "The First and the Last," and "The Sun."
