Publishers Description: The life of Christopher Brennan, poet and scholar, was often spectacular and sometimes, to his contemporaries, terrible or scandalous. In the 1890s he held high and religious hopes both of poetry and nuptial love. However, his brief years of marital happiness and literary success were followed by grief, scandal and poverty.In considering Brennans life and his writings, especially his poetry, Axel Clark has given an assessment of his literary achievement and suggested some explanation of the suffering and degradation which overtook him during his search for fulfilment in passionate love and religion.
