Extract

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. The work selected for examination is Per Hallström's short story, A Secret Idyll.
