Abstract

Among the modern French poets, Serge Barrault occupies a very conspicuous place. He is not merely an ordinary Catholic who observes all the externals, hut his whole life is model­ed on the ideal of the Church. In the collec­tion of poems on 'death* which he has published under the title of Le Grand Portail des Morts. 1930, Barrault takes a thoroughly Catholic view point. The present Dissertation aims at inves­tigating to what extent he is inspired by the Liturgy and teaching of the Church.
