Butter wrote with the cooperation of the poet's widow, Willa Muir, who gave him access to all relevant papers in her possession and to much of Muir's correspondence, and he drew on the reminiscences of many who had known him. Quotes extensively from Muir's own letters, including correspondence with T. S. Eliot (Muir's publisher at Faber) used by permission of Mrs T. S. Eliot, and traces the mental and spiritual development behind the poetry from the Orkney childhood through Glasgow, Nietzsche, the Kafka translations, St Andrews, Prague and Newbattle. Butter went on to edit the Selected Letters of Edwin Muir (1974) and The Complete Poems of Edwin Muir (1991), making this study the foundation of his Muir scholarship.
