Description
'The Silver Spoon' by John Galsworthy is the second novel in the 'A Modern Comedy' trilogy, following 'The White Monkey' and preceding 'Swan Song'. The story centres on Michael Mont, now a Member of Parliament, and his wife Fleur, as they become involved in the political and social conflicts of post-war Britain. Through Michael's political ambitions and the controversies surrounding him, Galsworthy explores changing attitudes towards class, wealth, politics and morality in a society struggling to adapt to the modern world. First published in 1926, the novel continues the story of the Forsyte family and examines the tensions between traditional privilege and emerging social ideals.
