The Skin Game (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): A Tragi-Comedy

This 1920 play by Galsworthy—made into a 1931 film by Alfred Hitchcock—features a collision between two families:  the "old-money" Hillcrists and the nouveau-riche Hornblowers.  As the patriarchs of the two families squabble over a piece of land, an innocent young woman will pay the price.
