ABSTRACT
The natural sensible starting point for work in literary scholarship is interpretations and analysis of the works of literature themselves. After all, only the works themselves justify all our interest in the life of an author, in his social environment, and the whole process of literature. But curiously enough, literary history has been so preoccupied with the setting of a work of literature that its attempts at analysis of the works themselves have been slight in comparison with the enormous efforts expended on the study of their background.
