Um es gleich im voraus zu sagen: es
handelt sich bei diesem gewichtigen Werke
von über dreihundert Seiten nicht um ein
Erzeugnis jener ästhetisierenden, individuell¬
impressionistischen Art der Literaturbetrach¬
tung, die heute so beliebt und doch eigentlich
nur leeres Gerede ist. Vielmehr ist es eine
ernst zu nehmende wissenschaftliche Arbeit,
die uns hier vorgelegt wird, aufgebaut auf
der strengen und minuziösen Durchführung
des methodischen Prinzips der „Psycho¬
analyse" Diese geht von psychischen Details,
von scheinbar unwesentlichen Besonderheiten
im Erleben der Schnitzlerschen Personen aus
und bemüht sich, von hier aus zu deren
tiefsten, kompliziertesten und verborgensten
Regungen vorzudringen. Das Werk ist
natürlich keine „leichte“ Lektüre, aber sein
Studium ist fruchtbar, und dies um so mehr,
als es die Phantasiegestalten eines noch
schaffensfroh unter uns lebenden Dichters
sind, an denen es seine Methode erprobt.)
