DR. GRAESLER. By Arthur Schnitz¬
ler. Thomas Seltzer.
RTHUR SCHNITZLER is onei
of the few modern novelists
4 X yho may be deservedl,
termed a master in the subtler tech¬
nique of the'dark psychologie.“ He
is most often called a“pure natural¬
ist,“ and we are naturally skeptical
of casy classifications. But if natur¬
alism means—and westhink it does,
if it means anything at all—the dif¬
ficultsart of reflecting the irrational
protesses of man, the life of the
emotions rather than of the intellect,
this classification of him may stand.
For Schnitzler, in his plays and
novels alike, disregards as valid the
intellectual Treasons why“ and seeks
fan beneath the conscious surface
the unconscious motives of the rea¬
sons. His high mastery of the art
of his craft lies in his workmanlike
elimination of the machinery and
scäffolding necessary to ang piece
of larchitecture in the building.
