It received wide critical acclaim on publication and by the mid 1940's had gone through over twenty printings. In 1967 it was filmed by Granada Television who extended the story to include the second and third titles in Dr. Bentley's trilogy, The Rise of Henry Morcar (Gollancz, 1946) and A Man of His Time (Gollancz, 1966).
