description: 4TH VOLUME IN THE FORSYTE SAGATHE WHITE MONKEY is the fourth volume in THE FORSYTE SAGA, one of the most popular and enduring works of 20th-century literature. In creating the many extraordinary members of the Forsyte family, John Galsworthy also drew a fascinating and detailed picture of the British propertied class, from the wealth and security of the mid-Victorian era through Edwardian high-noon to a post-WW I world of change, strikes and social malaise. By showing the Forsytes in all their strengths and weaknesses against a detailed background of English life - Parliament, the Courts, the City, sports, philanthropy, art, wars - Galsworthy has made THE WHITE MONKEY and the other volumes in THE FORSYTE SAGA valuable social history as well as great fiction."A work of epic proportions, one that does not suffer by comparison with Thackeray's VANITY FAIR."
