ABSTRACT
This chapter describes about the literature with the interrelationships between people, one which thus overtly, or by implication at least, creates a social world. It suggests that the main interest which creative writers might well have for those concerned with social analysis lies not so much in the incidentals they use as part of the machinery of their fictions but in the very process and consequent effects of their creation of characters interacting in an independent social world. The chapter argues that this process bears some relationship, which it will be interesting to consider in some detail, to the ways in which some social scientists have conceived their task, and that practice in penetration into these worlds through the disciplined application of the literary critical intelligence could perhaps have a salutary effect on social investigation, especially in the sphere of education.
