Can anyone tell me whether the resemblance between Briggflatts and Mercian
Hymns, both of which combine autobiography with the history of the ruler of
a Saxon kingdom, is coincidence? I think Briggflatts was written first - so
was Hill influenced by it? I don't remember seeing any comparison between
the two. But then I haven't read a great deal of criticism on either.
Best wishes
