Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of July 9, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Understandable and clear use of language.

2. Factually accurate?: Good use of notes/bibliography.

3. Broad in coverage?: Covers multiple different aspects of the work, broken up into subsections Background, Writing and publication, Plot summary, Genre, Style and themes, and Reception.

4. Neutral point of view?: Appears to be written in a neutral manner.

5. Article stability? Stable since May 2008 creation, no issues in article history or on talk page.

6. Images?: All images used are on Wikimedia Commons, no issues here.
