Works about this Work

The Incongruousness of His Poetry and His Calling : The Effect of Biography on the Poetry of John Shaw Neilson Cliff Hanna , 1984 single work criticism
— Appears in: Autobiographical and Biographical Writing in the Commonwealth 1984; (p. 101-107)
Hanna challenges the common view (perpetuated by several biographies and many articles) of John Shaw Neilson as a simple, rustic man who was surprisingly able to produce poems of significant literary quality despite his lack of literary understanding. Hanna argues that the poet was a skilled craftsman and a complex artist, citing documentary evidence and the critical opinion of several critics to demonstrate that Shaw Neilson did, indeed, know what he was doing.
