He carried Naturalism to a logical attain ment of such poignant intensity that, if the work of any other playwright is to be called naturalism", we must classify a play like 'The Dance of Death' as 'suH'r naturalism', and place it in a class by itself, exclusively Strindberg's since no one before or after him has had the genius lo qualify."
