Developing her biography, Lees follows the man and myth of Alfred—a study of Europe before and after the man. A contemporary review in the New York Times praised this 1915 volume as "exhaustive and painstaking . . . revealing at times a nice sympathy with her hero and his time and a noteworthy power of constructive imagination."
