Gumpert suggests that all of these methods of recuperating the past are variations on "graft." The study concludes with a brief treatment of Helen in modern Greek poetry.
Gumpert argues that with these exempla, which were always from the distant past, the poet simultaneously reveals and nullifies his estrangement from the past (since the poet re-enacts the amorous and literary exploits of figures from antiquity).
Gumpert argues that what is at issue in the sonnets is not passion for or praise of Helen but the "replication and dissemination of phantom or supplementary Helens (Helen, for example, as a portrait, name, dream, gaze, letter, public figure, poem, myth) pieced together out of premanufactured parts" (162).
Ten years later, Gumpert acquired the manuscript from his cousin, Inges adoptive daughter, Julie, and was so energized by having learned more about his aunt that he was determined to learn more about her experiences and fill in gaps in her manuscripts .
Gumpert, himself an accomplished writer and editor, is undoubtedly thrilled with the result, a well-crafted, readable, honest, heartbreaking portrait of what his aunt endured during her childhood.
In that sense, Gumperts role seems similar to that of a paleontologistcalled in to analyze the fossilized fragments of a life that remain visible, to identify the components and to use scientific conjecture to conjure the total picture for the lay audience.
