GALSWORTHY, John, English author: b. 1867. His early works appeared under the nan-de-plume of "John Senjohn° and attracted little notice, being purely of a conventional type. 'Jocelyn' (1898),

His plays present social problems even more strongly than his novels. Of these the most important are (1917) ; 'Beyond' (1917). Galsworthy was included in the king's New Years honors(1918) for a knighthood which he declined. (See jusncE). Consult Skemp, A. R.,
