The author subjects 3 important French novels: Gide's La Symphonie Pastorale, Camus' L'Etranger, and Satre's La Nausee, to a rigorous textual analysis. In so doing he gives the reader and student an acute awareness of the structure and meaning of these works. "Theme" in the author's system, refers primarily to the ideas that emerge from the structure of such textual elements as actions, gestures, or statements. These textual elements are here termed "motifs." By identifying motifs within a given work and revealing their thematic significance, the author provides a new basis for the evaluation of literature.
