Crawford and Gounod: Ambiguity and Irony in Malcom's Katie

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol15/burns.htm

"The themes of Malcolm's Katie, which critics attempt to trace in Tennyson's idylls, are manifestly apparent in Crawford's earlier lyrical, satirical, and narrative verse, much of which bears little stylistic resemblence to Tennyson's work. Although the Tennysonian medley-poem may suggest in broadest outline the structure of Malcolm's Katie, none of Tennyson's idylls is more than superficially similar -- in either plot or form -- to Crawford's poem."

Malcolm's Katie, Hugh and Ion: Crawford's Changing Narrative Vision

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol03/johnson.htm

"A new complexity concerning Crawford's perception of the world has been suggested recently by the discovery of an unfinished narrative poem, called variously The Hunters Twain, Narrative Two and Hugh and Ion. This frag ment of eight hundred and forty lines which, one can speculate, likely represents Crawford's final literary project during the last period of her short life, presents a marked contrast with the earlier poetry and particularly with the earlier narrative poem. Not enough of the unfinished poem exists to allow us to say that Crawford was entering a new stage in her development; at the least, however, it reflects a significant departure for her, not only as poet but also as social critic."
