Christopher Brennan : The Disunity of 'Poems 1913'
1970
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Meanjin Quarterly , Spring vol. 29 no. 3 1970; (p. 281-302) Stewart challenges the view that Poems (1913) exhibits a unified structure, citing bibliographic evidence and thematic irregularities for support. Stewart argues that the theme of Eden does not "unite or clarify" the other themes of Poems (1913) and that Brennan's images do not offer a symbolism strong enough to support a unified structure. -

New Perspectives on Brennan's Poetry : The Unfolding of the Cycle
1952
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Southerly , vol. 13 no. 2 1952; (p. 86-96) Wilkes argues that Poems has not only a single theme (a quest for Eden), but, also, a 'singleness' of form. Poems must be read as a whole: a symphonic form. Wilkes examines manuscript evidence to show how Brennan revised and rearranged the order of Poems for almost ten years before this symphonic form was produced. -
