TLDR
The final editor of as mentioned in this paper has deliberately excised the original historical context of Second and Third Isaiah and placed these oracles into the 8th-century prophet, and rearranged many of the oracles placing material from First Isaiah into Second Isaiah and vice versa.Abstract:
Recently B. S. Childs has underscored the importance of seeing the book of Isaiah as a theological unity.' According to him, First Isaiah, the pre-exilic prophet of judgement, when read apart from Second (the exilic prophet of consolation) and Third Isaiah (postexilic prophet of promise), loses its theological context. The final editor has deliberately excised the original historical context of Second and Third Isaiah and has placed these oracles into the historical context of the 8th-century prophet.2 But this editorial work is not fortuitous. The editor has rearranged many of the oracles placing material from First Isaiah into Second Isaiah and vice versa,3 and thus has been able to create a timeless theological theme, to quote Childs: "Sinful Israel would always be the object of divine terror; repentant Israel would receive his promise of forgiveness." 4read more

P. R. ACKROYD, Isaiah I-XII: presentation of a prophet
TL;DR: Barr in his book Fundamentalism, in the context of considering how what he terms "residual fundamentalism" survives, points to the belief in such circles that "the whole book of Isaiah is still somehow linked to the prophet of that name". But it is clear that the words of the prophet have been ordered and amplified to bring them into relationship with subsequent situations.
