Inspired by Andria, a comedy by Terence, it was the third-best selling book in the United States in 1930.
The novel is set on the fictional Greek island of Brynos in the pre-Christian era, probably around 200 B.C. (i.e., in the decline of Greece's golden age though the novel does not give an explicit date)  The book examines conflicts between Christian and pre-Christian morality.
Though some reviews considered the novel a masterpiece, others were more critical.  This was the first time that Wilder's work received any significant negative critical response.  Mike Gold's review in The New Republic faulted Wilder for not addressing modern social issues.
