About this title

Synopsis

Edited by the surgeon and literary scholar Geoffrey Keynes, and first published in 1946, this is the standard edition of the poetry of Rupert Brooke (1887-1915). It includes early poems, the War Sonnets and Brooke's final writings - fragments composed during the voyage to Gallipoli, shortly before his death on a hospital ship in the Aegean. Reprinted here as part of the Poets of the Great War series.

About the Author

Rupert Brooke was born in Warwickshire in 1887, and studied at King's College, Cambridge. As part of his recovery from the depression and instability which led to his break from the Bloomsbury group, Brooke toured Canada and the United States. In 1915, after joining the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Brooke sailed for Gallipoli with the British Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, but on the way contracted sepsis from an infected mosquito bite and died aboard a French hospital ship moored off the island of Skyros in the Aegean.
