John Galsworthy 
Freelands 

Many of John Galsworthy’s novels and plays discuss issues of social justice, and in the 1915 novel The Freelands, he turns his attention to the emergence of an agricultural revolution in England and its profound class implications. At the same time, the work has happier themes as well, including an abiding love for and copious descriptions of the English countryside and several blossoming romances among the young residents of the area.
