Galsworthy's first novel was published in a small edition in 1898 under a pseudonym. It was never reprinted. The passionate story of an illicit love, foreshadowing Irene's story in 'The Forsyte Saga', is told with greater intensity of feeling than Galsworthy allowed himself in his maturity. Now, for the first time, Jocelyn appears under Galsworthy's own name and Catherine Dupre, Galsworthy's biographer, has written a special introduction.
