With The Gryphon, Bantock is committed to shifting away from "the personal nature" and exploring "the broader significance." As a result, the novel is more complex than any in the previous trilogy.

However, those who choose to explore the mysterious realms of the human soul are fortunate indeed to have Bantock as their guide and trickster.
