The discussion of an author in terms of a literary school invites two methods of procedure. The investigator may touch lightly on each of a large number of works, or he may limit himself to a more exhaustive study of a single work. The latter method is the one adopted for this paper, since it has the double advantage of involving lighter obligations and of leading to more definite results.
