AbstractHistoryArchive Description
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.
