GALSWORTHY

Signed at the height of his fame. After the First World War he returned to the Forsytes; he wrote a second novel about the family, In Chancery, published in October 1920. Within a year he completed another Forsyte short story (or interlude), called Awakening, and a third novel, To Let, published in September 1921. A month later the International PEN Club (standing for Poets, Essayists, Novelists) was founded in London, with Galsworthy as its president, a position he held for the rest of his life. In May 1922 the three Forsyte novels were issued in a single volume as The Forsyte Saga, and sold prodigiously.
