Goodspeed takes exception to the omission of Slessor's 'Heine in Paris' from major verse anthologies believing it to be the work in which Slessor 'establishes himself as a moderninst.' Goodspeed argues that 'Heine in Paris' is 'certainly modernist and feminist in its content and style' and that 'critical consideration, other than biography, would enable richer and more varied scholarship.'
