Scope and Contents

Schwartzburg provides a very intelligent analysis of Tom Phillips' "A Humument" in Chapter 3. She mentions the following. Stanford's single copy of 'A Human Document' "has lain motionless on the shelves for so long that it has no circulation history prior to three times it was checked out since 1997, when the latest edition of 'A Humument" was taught in a graduate seminar. Phillips' very recovery of Mallock's text demonstrates its loss, for it is only being read now as an extension of 'A Humument.. It is entirely dependent on 'A Humument' - not prior to it." Three major sections of Schwartburg's book deal with works held by the Sackner Archive, Tom Phillips' "A Humument," Susan Barron's unique book, "Twisting Silence," and Ian Hamilton Finlay's "Two Poems." A great deal of research for this thesis was done by Schwartzberg in the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
