In The Anvil Mr. Risley has produced a novel which for conception, dramatic power, and sheer strength of characterization will stand head and shoulders above the ordinarily well done novel of the day. In it for the first time Mr. Risley “finds himself” and strikes the strong, clear note he will sound, with ever increasing strength, in the literature that lives. It is a novel that will make people think.
