“It is a book of pleasant reading, for Dr Goldberg’s style is florid and, were it not for a trifle too much effort, would be brilliant. The chief significance of these studies is, however, as the first effort to provide a sound literary criticism of the work of South American writers.” H. K.

“Dr Goldberg’s scholarship is good in essentials. Unfortunately, however, he can not be complimented for carefulness in little things. In spite of the general clarity of his style, there are now and then pages far from clear.” F: B. Luquiens

In this four act play a war-maddened young soldier assaults the girl who had asked to be relieved from her engagement to him on the ground that she has learned to love another. The development of the play brings out the attitudes of the various characters toward the man himself, his act, and the girl concerned. These vary from the sentimental attitude of those who would forgive “our boys” anything to that of the two radicals to whom personal considerations are nothing in the face of the coming revolution. Henri Barbusse has written a preface and there is an introduction by the author.
