The story of the composition of "Les Rois en exil" is an interesting study of Daudet's methods, his inexorable insistence on truth, even to the most minute details. As usual, the characters are sharply contrasted.
The very briefness of the work, its sober language and simple incident, contrasted with the appalling length, the mighty catastrophes, and grand phrases of the old romances, may have indeed contributed much to its immediate popularity, but its abiding interest rests upon the truthfulness with which character is drawn, and emotions and motives are analyzed.
