Beschreibung
"e;The Freelands"e; by John Galsworthy is a novel that explores the social and political tensions of the Edwardian era through the lens of a family deeply connected to the land. The story revolves around the "e;Freelands"e; a family whose members are each engaged in different aspects of the social and environmental issues of their time.At the heart of the novel is the conflict between rural life and the encroaching forces of industrialization. The Freelands, who are landowners, find themselves grappling with the impact of industrialization on the countryside and the traditional ways of life that have long defined their existence. This conflict is particularly embodied in the generational divide.Galsworthy uses the family's internal dynamics to highlight broader societal issues, such as the struggle for social justice, the effects of industrialization on the environment, and the class struggles that arise from these changes. The novel also delves into the environmental concerns of the time, as the characters confront the degradation of the natural world and the moral questions surrounding land use and ownership. The novel serves as a reflection on the changing landscape of rural England and a commentary on the need for progress.
