The Forsyte Saga
''The Forsyte Saga'', first published under that name in 1922, is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921 by Nobel Prize-winning English author John Galsworthy. They chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of a large commercial upper class English family, similar to Galsworthy's own.〔(''New Books'', 2006 )〕 Only a few generations removed from their farmer ancestors, the family members are keenly aware of their status as "new money". The main character, Soames Forsyte, sees himself as a "man of property" by virtue of his ability to accumulate material possessions—but this does not succeed in bringing him pleasure.
Separate sections of the saga, as well as the lengthy story in its entirety, have been adapted for cinema and television. The first book, ''The Man of Property'', was adapted in 1949 by Hollywood as ''That Forsyte Woman'', starring Errol Flynn, Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon and Robert Young. The BBC produced a popular 26-part serial in 1967, that also dramatised a subsequent trilogy concerning the Forsytes, ''A Modern Comedy''. In 2002, Granada Television produced two series for the ITV network called ''The Forsyte Saga'' and ''The Forsyte Saga: To Let'', and the two Granada series made their runs in the US as part of Masterpiece Theatre. In 2003, ''The Forsyte Saga'' was listed as #123 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel".〔("BBC – The Big Read" ). BBC. April 2003, Retrieved 31 October 2012〕
