Sobre aquest llibre
This volume contains a fantastic collection of poetry written by Rupert Chawner Brooke. Rupert Chawner (1887 - 1915) was an English poet famous for the idealistic war sonnets that he wrote during the First World War, namely "The Soldier". This wonderful collection will appeal to a range of poetry lovers, but will be of special interest to those with a penchant for war poetry. The poems of this collection include: "Peace", "Safety", "The Dead", "The Soldier", "The Treasure", "Tiare Tahiti", "Retrospect", "The Great Lover", "Heaven", "Doubts", "There's Wisdom in Women", "He Wonders Whether to Praise or to Blame Her", "A Memory", and more. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
Sobre l'autor
Rupert Brooke was a poet who took a patriotic, somewhat idealized, view of World War I. He was born in Rugby, where his father was headmaster of a house at the elite Rugby School. Blond, athletic, and intelligent, Brooke embodied the English stereotype of the golden youth. After he had studied at the Rugby School, Brooke went on to King's College, where he joined the Apostles, a venerable intellectual club, which counted Alfred Lord Tennyson among its earlier members. In 1911, Brooke published his first collection of poetry titled Poems. His verse moved from fashionably decadent to nearly Georgian, often with a quiet pastoralism that now seems conventional. Brooke joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in August 1914, served in Belgium, and was sent to Gallipoli with the Hood Battalion but died of blood poisoning en route in the Aegean. He is best remembered for his war sonnets, which idealize both combat and patriotic feelings in a way that other war poets would later react against sharply.
