He was the son of the novelist... whom he approached in talent and originality, while he greatly excelled him in realistic observation and moral earnestness...This drama marks a theatrical revolution as profound and more lasting than that so pompously heralded in Hugo's Hernani. It is the beginning of the realistic study of social problems, which has changed the face of modern drama." (from the introduction).
