Christopher Brennan's Poetic,
single work
criticism
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".

Steps into the Forest: Christopher Brennan's Fatal Attraction,
single work
criticism
Macainsh challenges the view of previous criticism that the persona of Poems (1913) is in search of God. Macainsh argues instead that the object of the poet's quest is himself which he discovers through the female. This quest instils a craving for unity that can only be achieved through the impossible synthesis of the past and future. Macainsh concludes: "It is the poet's present that bears the curse of what sunders these two".
