Produced by David Widger "Studies and Essays: Quality, and Others" by John Galsworthy is a collection of reflective essays likely written in the early 20th century. The essays explore themes surrounding human experiences, artistry, and societal issues through Galsworthy's narrative style, showcasing a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and social critique. The beginning of the work introduces us to "Quality," the first essay, which revolves around the character of Mr. Gessler, a cobbler whose exceptional craftsmanship in boot-making signifies his profound passion for quality and authenticity. Through nostalgic recollections, the narrator illustrates their interactions with Mr. Gessler, emphasizing the man's dedication to his trade amidst changing times and the rise of mass production. The tone is one of both admiration for Gessler's artistry and sadness for the struggles he faces in a world that increasingly values quantity over quality, ultimately hinting at themes of obsolescence and unrecognized genius.
