The Guarded Flame
“In quite a different field, in a vastly different atmosphere, the author has come near to the master genius of Thomas Hardy. ‘The Guarded Flame’ is a work of wonderful power, but above all a work of truth. No novel has been written since the beginning of Hardy’s literary activity that has more clearly approached his marvelous subtlety in the depiction of human nature.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
