At Meldon Court, a country house party, the rich young Jewish guest Ferdinand De Levis is robbed, and he accuses Captain Ronald Dancy, a decorated officer. The other guests close ranks around one of their own, and Galsworthy follows the consequences through clubs, lawyers’ offices and courtrooms, exposing the snobbery and anti-Semitism behind the loyalties of class.
One of Galsworthy’s strongest plays, a sharp portrait of prejudice in post-war England. Download the free EPUB.
