This is the first major study of Australian poet Christopher Brennan's 1914 work Poems, a very deliberate livre composé inspired by Western esoteric, Romantic, and Symbolist currents of thought. This book argues that Brennan's primary focus was the notion of a higher self.
This book offers a comprehensive and original reading of Australian poetry, from the colonial period to the present, through the dual lenses of Romanticism and negativity. Paul Kane argues that the absence of Romanticism functions as a crucial presence in the poetry of all the major Australian poets. This absence or negativity is both thematic and structural, and Kane's scrupulous analyses uncover important relations between Romanticism and negativity. Chapters on nine individual poets explore and substantiate the theoretical claims informed by the work of contemporary critics of Romanticism and by various philosophers of negativity. These chapters can serve as a series of self-contained readings of Australian poets for the use of students, scholars, and informed general readers. Australian Poetry is unique in its sustained argument and theoretical sophistication.
The central theme here is the constant confrontation of theory and practice in the work of Baudelaire, Mallarmé and Valéry.
This new anthology ranges from Shakespeare in the early 17th century through the golden age of Romantic poets up to the late 19th and early 20th century. Poets who feature include Donne, Whitman, Rossetti and Browning, along with the Romantic poets Keats, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Shelley and Byron.
