Published in 1931, Axel's Castle was Edmund Wilson's first book of literary criticism--a landmark book that explores the evolution of the French Symbolist movement and considers its influence on six major twentieth-century writers: William Butler Yeats, Paul Valéry, T. S. Eliot, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein. As Alfred Kazin later wrote, "Wilson was an original, an extraordinary literary artist . . . He could turn any literary subject back into the personal drama it had been for the writer."

La forja, primer volumen de la trilogía La forja de un rebelde, narra la niñez y juventud del protagonista hasta el año 1914. Junto a las vivencias de Arturo, la ciudad de Madrid tiene una presencia más que notable. Este vive con su madre en una buhardilla cercana a la Plaza de Oriente, estudia en el Instituto de San Isidro, asiste a la iglesia de Santiago y al cine Callao, juega en la calle Lepanto y se mueve, comprando libros, descansando o divirtiéndose por el Rastro, el Campo del Moro, la Casa de Campo,´el rio Manzanares o la calle de Alcalá. En ese entorno, perfectamente definido y recreado con la fuerza de un Baroja, empiezan a entreverse las divisiones sociales que estallarán más tarde. La propia familia del protagonista se divide por una herencia. Arturo encuentra sus primeros trabajos y tiene sus primeros enfrentamientos reivindicativos con los jefes. Es la forja de un futuro rebelde.
