Project Gutenberg 2006-06-14 Public domain in the USA. 335 Galsworthy, John 1867 1933 Sinjohn, John The Freelands Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger "The Freelands" by John Galsworthy is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Freeland family, particularly focusing on brothers Felix, Tod, and their experiences amidst changing societal values and the tensions within their rural community. The narrative begins with a poignant depiction of rural life and quickly introduces the complexities of family dynamics, societal expectations, and the looming impacts of industrialism. The opening of "The Freelands" paints a vivid landscape of Worcestershire's countryside and introduces main characters such as Felix Freeland, an author with critical views on society, and his brother Tod, who leads a more rustic life. As Felix navigates through London to attend a family meeting, he contemplates the mediocrity of those around him, juxtaposed against Tod’s existence amongst nature. The contrasting lives of the Freeland brothers are set against a backdrop of familial responsibilities, societal upheaval, and the young generation's potential for rebellion, particularly through Tod’s children, Derek and Sheila, who embody the tensions between tradition and change in their community. This setup suggests a story rich with themes of personal and social conflict.
