   THERE can be few writers the complexity of whose techniques and variety   
   of thematic examinations of human behaviour have inspired so many   
   detailed critical analyses as ........ has attracted in the last half   
   century.   
      
   Apart from the wide areas of familiar moral and social problems which he   
   embodied in his   
   narratives, the particular type of sesquippledan verboojuice which he   
   was inspired to invent enabled him to attract into the area of his   
   creativity far wider historical, philosophical, imaginative, and   
   artistic references and implications than can ever be normally expected   
   of a literary artist.   
      
   As a result, the infinity of subjects touched on provides critics and   
   academic researchers with a corresponding infinity of subjects for   
   theses, or if not specifically for them, at least for separate contexts   
   in which to concentrate on an artist whose infinite variety   
   makes concentration of any value immensely difficult if not virtually   
   impossible.   
      
      
   --------- ObPuzzle    Is  sesquippledan   a made-up word?   
                          What does it mean?   
      
      
             Can this describe 2nd or 3rd  novelist?   
      
      
       the use of  the verb [embody]  is a bit unusual.   
      
      
      
   A bit wordy... I'd easily make it 20% shorter. (without losing anything)
