The New York Evening Post said of Mr. Powys' first novel "Wood and Stone" that it was "one of the best novels of the twelvemonth" while the Boston Transcript said that "with a clearer vision he could stand among the masters in literary achievement." The Chicago Tribune said of the same work, "Psychologically speaking, it is one of the most remarkable pieces of fiction ever written." The announcement of a second novel by the same brilliant author is therefore one of extraordinary interest.
In this new novel, Mr. Powys, while unhesitatingly using to his purpose those new fields of psychological interest opened up for us by recent Russian writers, reverts, in the general style and content of his story, to that more idealistic, more simple mood, which we associate with such great romanticists as Emily Brontë and Victor Hugo.
