I have since read every other book of his that I could lay hands on: 'Sinnove Solbakken, and 'Magnhild, and 'Captain Manzanca, and 'Dust, and 'In God's Ways, and 'Sigurd, and plays like "The Glove" and "The Bankrupt." He has never, as some authors have, dwindled in my sense; when I open his page, there I find him as large, and free, and bold as ever.

Only a rapid glance may be taken at the books of the five years following upon the publication of "The King."

There are still peasants in this story, but they are different from the figures of the early tales, and the atmosphere of the work is modern.
