The Postulation of Reality is a critical analysis of some contemporary literature. In this essay he rejects the literary formulas of several notable scholars, and instead offers his own formula. He divides most writers into two main categories: Classical and Romanticist. He then goes on to divide the “postulation of reality” into three subdivisions: A general notification of important facts, Imagining of a more complex reality, and use of the Invention of Circumstances.
A major part of the analysis involved his use and interpretation of several selected texts as examples of his system, including “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” and “Morte d’Arthur”.
