contemporain Arthur Schnitzler, quant à lui, travaillait à démasquer l’hypocrisie bourgeoise dans des pièces comme Anatole (1893) ou la Ronde (1897). Influencé par l’impressionnisme, Schnitzler excellait surtout dans les ouvrages courts, comme le Perroquet vert (1899). Précurseur, en cela, de l’œuvre de l’écrivain irlandais James Joyce, il pratiqua l’analyse littérale de la conscience dans ses nouvelles ( Lieutenant Gustl, 1900, ou Mademoiselle Else, 1924).

Blacks in Latin America.
