The daughter of an ex-Major and his now-dead mistress, Gyp becomes enchanted by Fiorsen, a Swedish violin player with wild cat-like eyes. Gyp's hypersensitivity comes into play when the romantic yet unstable Fiorsen asks her to marry him in this 1917 novel.

This 1922 drama, set in the post-World War I era, concerns a wealthy young Jewish man who is robbed by a war hero fallen on hard times. A searing yet fair indictment of anti-Semitism, the play dissects religion, class, and ethics in exposing the ugly roots of British racism.

This 1916 collection includes such topics as "On Prisons and Punishment" and "On the Position of Women." In his Author's Note, Galsworthy defended his pleas for reform: "The war will not last for ever, and in the peace that follows life will be rougher, [and] the need for those pleas more insistent even than it was."
