I have a question which I could use some help with, if anyone knows.
A book, Ten Famous Plays by John Galsworthy ( ISBN 0404147496) has a play entitled "The Roof" as its last selection. However, that play is not showing up in the complete works of Galsworthy. Anyone know what is going on, if it is authentic Galsworthy and where I might find this play online? -- GreetingsEarthling 02:06, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I am an English major in China. I'm trying to write an essey on J.G's The Apple Tree .If you have read it could I share your ideas about it with you?
The following questions of fact about this article was posted on my talk page. I am taking the opportunity of moving them here as they relate to this article. Any help that can be provided by the wikipedia community will be appreciated. MarnetteD | Talk 16:22, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
John Thaxter found the answer to the questions above so I will post them here for all to read. MarnetteD | Talk 22:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
From Oxford Dictionary of National Biography [1]
"John Galsworthy died of a stroke at his London home, Grove Lodge, The Grove, Holly Bush Hill, Hampstead, on 31 January 1933. On 3 February, in accordance with his will, he was cremated at Woking, and his ashes were scattered by aeroplane over the South Downs."
From Poets’ Graves [2]
",John Galsworthy 1867-1933 Ashes scattered over the Sussex Downs, but a memorial in Highgate 'new' Cemetery."
But that still leaves the gravesite link, which takes us to New College. I think the truth is that at New College there is a memorial tablet, the subject of that fuzzy photographic illustration.
Provided the gravesite link is removed, all seems to be well; but I will add a note in the main article, referring to the Oxford DNB and Poets' Grave information.

I own a set of 26 volumes (numbered 1 through to 26) of the Grove Edition of books by John Galsworthy. The Wikipadia article on John Galsworthy states that there are 27 volumes in the Grove Edition. Does anyone know for certain that there ARE 27 volumes - and in that case, what the title of volume 27 is? I have searched the internet, without success, for a definitive list of the volumes in the Grove Edition. Gmh 22:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I belive that the movie "A Summer Story" was an adaptation of Galsworthy's story titled "The Apple Tree". Would be nice to mention that as another adaptation of his works. And is a wonderful movie also, starring Imogene Stubbs. Think4yerself ( talk) 06:06, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
I would appreciate some sort of classification being introduced into the "Selected Works" section. As near as I can make out, it currently lists novels, plays, and individual essays and short stories together indiscriminately, with no indication of which is which. This significantly reduces its usefulness as a source of information. - Agur bar Jacé ( talk) 15:36, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
The article variously attributes G's death to both a stroke and a brain tumour. Can this be resolved? Spicemix ( talk) 00:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I added subsections for readability. Matuko 00:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
Page 154, the author mentions John Galsworthy 'as a writer of sorts' 84.203.16.126 ( talk) 00:56, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
I am proposing to work on this article with the aim of getting it up to FA standard, as with Arnold Bennett, Somerset Maugham, Hugh Walpole and others. Comments from other editors gratefully received. Tim riley talk 08:35, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
