Abstract

John Galsworthy said of his novels that they were "a criticism of life." This definition is generally recognized and has been accepted by critics as an approach to the study of his works. This thesis proposes an examination of one specific method by which Galsworthy criticized the life of his times: the grouping of characters of his novels into types representative of the society he knew.
