Reviews

"Great works of art deserve great interpreters, and Sigrid Undset's 1920 three-part masterpiece, Kristin Lavransdatter, has one of the first order in Southern critic, essayist, and novelist, Andrew Lytle. In his Kristin, Mr. Lytle, by means of patient, penetrating investigation of the text . . . supports what Lytle has long contended: that Kristin Lavransdatter ranks in significance with Tolstoy's War and Peace as a work of fiction, and perhaps is unexcelled as a work of historical fiction."--Southern Partisan

"This beautiful little book--one that does much credit to its publisher--appears as a blessing amid the clutter and noise and ugliness that characterize the publishing industry as well as literary discourse today. A pleasure to hold and to behold, this volume is also the vehicle for rendering words, thoughts, and values that seem new because they are traditional, and indeed are new because of the controlled brilliance of their exposition."--Chronicles
