Why does the phrase take this form and not 'une lecture analytique d'œuvres' ?

Hi Tom,

The sentence is -

Zola recommande une lecture analytique des œuvres qui s'inspirent des méthodes scientifiques =

Zola recommends an analytic reading of the works which take their inspiration from scientific methods

and not

of works = d'œuvres

so it is pretty specific, that's all.

Bonne Continuation!
