James Branch Cabell discusses Messer Marco Polo in his Straws and Prayer-Books (1922, revised edition 1928); I'm not sure how much of that discussion it's relevant to quote in this article... Cabell wrote a review of the novel which was widely reprinted (Cabell himself was near the peak of his popularity at the time, a year or two after the Jurgen case) and apparently contributed largely to Byrne's popularity. -- Jim Henry ( talk) 19:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

One of the author's last books was The Power of the Dog, which was also published as Field of Honor, but I came here trying to find out who the dog was. I haven't quite finished the book, and yet neither title seems to make any sense so far. On page 260 it mentions "Prussian dogs", but in a trivial way. Actually a lot of the book is about "honor", but no particular field seems to apply, and none of the actual canine dogs could be said to have power, so I'm guessing that it must refer to some man. Perhaps Castlereagh? But he's only part of the background? Or Napoleon as a French dog? But he's been defeated and rendered powerless? Shanen ( talk) 11:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
