About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, Vilhelm Hammershøi and Jean-François Millet. Three passions in one man's life — in youth, in the prime of life and in middle age — each with its own season, each ruinous, and none of them the marriage he is in. Galsworthy published this in 1913 and his admirers were shocked; it is the most naked thing he wrote, and the structure, three novellas making one life, is why it survives while his plays do not. Sixty plates of painting by Millais and Arthur Hughes follow the same arc of desire and consequence, from Fair Rosamund to a boy on a hobby horse.
