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.
