Gordon A. Craig

The Loyal Subject, now published in translation for the first time in its complete form, was the first volume of a trilogy that was intended to deal with the whole complicated web of relationships between the activities of government, political parties, big business, and ordinary people during the Wilhelmine period and to show why the debacle of 1914 was inevitable....The novel had undeniable satirical power...rich in comic invention. All in all,...a powerful indictment of a society that seemed increasingly to be composed of the tyrannical and the servile. -- Gordon A. Craig, The New York Review of Books
