  • Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 7 December 2021: (Christopher John Brennan (1870-1932), poet and scholar, was born on 1 November 1870 in Harbour Street, Sydney. After being taught by the Jesuits, he studied at the University of Sydney (B.A. 1891. M.A. 1897), worked as a teacher, then studied in Berlin, but returned to Sydney without a degree. After working in the Public Library of New South Wales from 1895, he was appointed to a permanent lectureship in the University of Sydney in 1909. He had written and published a good deal of poetry meanwhile, and resumed publication in 1915. In 1925 he was disnissed by the university; he was intermittently a teacher, and supported by friends. He died of cancer in Lewisham, Sydney. His poetry poetry stands largely outside the mainstream of Australian poetic development; it falls more within the European philosophical-poetic tradition.) http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/brennan-christopher-john-5345
