The Little Iliad

One of the most striking things Mr. Hewlett has done. It is a study of the modern Helen and her exercise of her charms. If the author has taken liberties with the original epic, yet is he well-justified, for this is the twentieth century, and his people are modern to their finger-tips. But it is written beautifully, as Maurice Hewlett always writes, and it shows a penetration, a subtle, ironic humor that is much to be appreciated. -The Book News Monthly, Volume 34 [1916]
