He, however, can fully accept the method based upon this stylistic distinction only if it analyses poetry in the context of the society in which it was written.

August Strindberg porträtterad som naturalist, darwinist och symbolist. Karikatyr av OA (cirka 1900) som visar några av Strindbergs positioner i dåtidens samhällsdebatt. Med sitt genombrott Röda rummet kritiserade och förlöjligade han samhällets etablerade institutioner, med Utopier i verkligheten förespråkade han en anarkism som varken tilltalade socialister eller konservativa och 1910 utlöste han med en debattartikel den så kallade Strindbergsfejden - en hetsig kulturdebatt som varade i ett par år i skuggan av
