From the inside flap:
This is Morley 's first novel in five years, and (as usual) it is completely different from anything he has done before. He has here attempted a dangerous theme which has tong fascinated him. The legend of Troilus and Cressida, which includes every phase of human passion joy, intrigue, comedy and despair is one of the world's most famous love stories. Here it is brought to modem emotions and issues. It varies from ribaldry to tragic beauty. It will be diversely interpreted, and arouse both enthusiasm and dismay. What, for instance, does the Fatal Horse itself symbolize?
