Poems (1913)

By Christopher Brennan

 
 

ISBN: 9781920899844

Publication date: 1-Jul-23

Brennan’s Poems, on their appearance in 1914, represented something unique in Australian verse. This was the completion of a symbolist livre composé, the volume designed not as a collection of poems, but as a single poem, sustained through changing moods and verse-forms.

About the authors

Christopher John Brennan (1 November 1870 – 5 October 1932) was an Australian poet, scholar and literary critic.

Emeritus Professor Wilkes was appointed the inaugural Chair of Australian Literature at the University in 1962, and went on to also hold the Challis Chair of English Literature, with expertise in Renaissance English literature, from 1966 until his retirement in 1996. As Australian Literature Chair, he was highly regarded for his analyses of Christopher Brennan, A.D. Hope, Patrick White, R.D. Fitzgerald and Judith Wright, as well as championing the value of the field before it was recognised as culturally significant.
