Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Just prior to Rupert Brooke's tragic involvement in World War I, he traveled to the United States and thence to Canada, finally ending his travels in Samoa. these are the letters he wrote from that exciting journey. The dust-jacket write up further enlarges: "The letters he wrote on this trip are filled with Brooke's characteristic wit and charm: he was quick to observe and ever ready to identify with American excitement and pace; he grew specially fond of Canada, and the letters contain beautiful descriptions of its scenery and towns (he visited Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa). His letter from Samoa is one of his most polished pieces of writing. His sensitivity and intelligence shine through these letters. In his Preface to the book, Henry James summed up the real importance and fascination of this remarkable collection: 'The chances and changes, the personal history of an absolute genius, draw us to watch his adventures with curiosity and inquiry, lead us to win more of his secret and borrow more of his experience.' " ********************************************* TITLE : Letters from America / AUTHOR : Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915) / PREFACE : Henry James (1843 - 1916 ) / IMPRINT : Beaufort Books / PLACE : New York / DATE : (1988) / EDITION : Reprint.
