When the Forsyte Saga began in 1886, England too had no future since it believed its present would last forever. It rode its bicycle in a state resembling a dream, interrupted only by Mr. Gladstone and the Irish Members. The England of 1926 is circling like a cat pursuing its tail with one foot in the air and the other in a Morris Oxford.The English are a nation that can't be rushed, are wary of extremes, are well-tempered, resentful of meddling, improvident, and wasteful, but are blessed with a particular knack for recovery. The grace of our protective humor only spares us. There is no Early Victorianism left in the modern day. The Victorianism of Soames and his generation is what has endured and has power. This Modern Comedy is presented against the backdrop of Soames and Sir Lawrence Mont, his father-in-law and co-star. Neo-Victorians like the pious Mr. Danby, Elderson, Mr. Blythe, Sir James Foskisson, Wilfred Bentworth, and Hilary Charwell are among those who appear in it.Who knows whether things will ever calm down once more? The basic plot of "A Modern Comedy" is to continue telling the story of life after Soames and Irene in 1881.
