John Galsworthy nace el 14 de agosto de 1867 en Kingston Hill (Surrey). Galsworthy es el segundo hijo del abogado londinense John Galsworthy y su esposa Blanche Bartleet. Nacido en el seno de una familia acomodada, ingresa en la Universidad de Oxford para estudiar leyes desde 1886 hasta 1889, carrera que realiza sin vocación, simplemente para cumplir los objetivos marcados por sus progenitores. El cambio del derecho por la literatura no tardará en ocurrir, gracias a la aparición en su vida de Ada Nemesis Pearson Cooper, en la Semana Santa de 1895, mujer que se convertirá en su esposa y musa literaria de por vida. Como escritor, pronto destaca por su brillante estilo narrativo, que adquiere su máxima expresión en La saga de los Forsyte, saga literaria con la que el autor realiza un profundo y demoledor retrato de su propia clase social, inmortalizando, a su vez, las tres generaciones de habitantes que comprenden la era victoriana, eduardiana y georgiana, todas ellas dentro de una misma encrucijada social, como denominador común de una vasta producción literaria a la que también se suman sus testimoniales e intensos procesos líricos. Galsworthy también se distinguirá como un prolijo y acreditado autor de teatro con obras como La caja de plata (1906), retrato de una sociedad profundamente dividida en clases sociales, y Justicia (1910), donde critica el sistema penitenciario del momento, obras que le convertirán en una de las voces más críticas con la doble moral de la sociedad y el doble rasero que aplica la justicia de su época. Galsworthy recibe el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1932 y fallece un año después, el 31 de enero de 1933, a consecuencia de un tumor cerebral. El 25 de marzo de 1933, sus cenizas son esparcidas desde un avión sobre las hermosas colinas de Bury (Sussex Occidental) cumpliéndose así su testamento poético: «¡Confiadme como pago al viento! / ¡Esparcid mis cenizas!».
