1 2 y separately published work icon These Glorious Crusaders : a contemporary novel Kurt Offenburg , ( trans. C. J. Brennan )expression Sydney : Macquarie Head Press , 1934 Z919413 1934 single work novel 'The story of These Glorious Crusaders relates to the German book-trade, as conducted for their own profit by the "bibliophiles" and publishers. It exposes not only the frauds of those who took advantage of the 1914-18 war but also the vanity of ambition, as seen in the career of Ruben Erzmann, a Jewish commercial traveller who rose to the position of the most powerful influence in the trade...'

Brennan's own descriptionof the work was ' a sublimation of a whole imaginitive life and experience into a subtly ordered series of poems, where each piece has, of course, its individual value, and yet cannot be interpreted save in its relation to the whole' (The Prose of Chritopher Brennan, ed. A. R. Chisolm.)
