Katherine Barnes: The Higher Self in Christopher Brennan’s Poems. Esotericism, Romanticism, Symbolism (Aries: Book Series: Texts and Studies in Western Esotericism, 2).
Christopher Brennan (1870–1932), the Sydney-born Australian poet whose major work Poems [1913] was deeply influenced by Mallarmé’s symbolist enterprise, German and English romanticism, and the nineteenth-century revival of interest in the history of esoteric thought, remains a deeply problematic figure in Australian literature. Formidably erudite, educated by Jesuits but losing his faith as a student at Sydney University, he was initially a classical scholar who then became fluent in German and French, and spent five years reading and studying nineteenth-century philosophy and literature in Berlin (1892–1897).
