La crítica mundial la considera "Victoria" como el mayor exponente del talento de Knut Hamsun en su madurez, la obra en la que alcanza la perfección de la forma y en la que el análisis psicológico penetra en mayor extensión y con mayor profundidad en los actos de los protagonistas. Hamsun relata una historia de amor que podría no tener mayor trascendencia si no fuera porque, como él mismo dice, lo importante reside en los "secretos movimientos que se realizan inadvertidos en lugares apartados de la mente".

Johannes rejser til byen, bliver forfatter og vender hjem igen, hvor han forlover sig med Camilla.
