Rupert Brooke, 1914 and Other Poems

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The poetry of Rupert Brooke remains memorable for its charming lyrical quality and the way in which his sonnets perfectly recapture the mood of England at the start of World War I. This volume reprints his complete oeuvre, from the early lyric poems to those written shortly before his death: "The Old Vicarage, Grantchester," "Tiare Tahiti," "The Great Lover," "The Dead," "The Soldier," and many others. AUTHOR: A member of the generation of British poets who achieved fame during World War I, Rupert Brooke (1887 1915) burst on the literary scene when two of his war sonnets ("The Dead" and "The Soldier") were published in London's Times Literary Supplement on March 11, 1915. Less than two months later his 1914 and Other Poems was published and went through 24 impressions by June, 1918. After being inducted into the British Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Brooke sailed on a Navy ship in February, 1915, heading toward the fighting at Gallipoli in Turkey. He died shortly thereafter, at age 27, on a French hospital ship moored off Skyros in the Aegean Sea from sepsis derived from an infected mosquito bite. Brooke was buried in an olive grove on Skyros. This volume reprints Brooke's complete oeuvre, from the early lyric poems to those written shortly before his death: "Tiare Tahiti," "The Great Lover," "The Dead," "The Soldier," many others.
