AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Macainsh discusses the influences on Brennan's poetry, paying particular attention to German Romanticism and French Symbolism. Brennan's time in Germany during the 1890s exposed him to the neo-romanticism of Berlin intellectuals. Brennan looked at the development of Western literature from this point of view and hailed the works of Stephane Mallarme as the contemporary epitome of an "ever-repeated striving for the ideal of Symbolic literature".

Notes

  • Includes reference to the influence of Berlin, the German Romantics and Stephane Mallarme on Christopher Brennan.
