Among the numerous plaudits bestowed on this pioneer novel is that
of Es'kia Mphahlele in 1960, when he found the issues Schreiner
raised in it 'too generous to fit into the South African pattern of
values', while Doris Lessing in her 1968 afterword considered it to
be 'one of those few rare books, on a frontier of the human mind'.
As Dan Jacobson remarked in his 1971 introduction: 'Nothing can
take from her the honour of being the first to make usable the
country and the people within it as a subject for fiction.'
