The Poems of Rupert Brooke - Rupert Brooke

Descriere The Poems of Rupert Brooke - Rupert Brooke

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.
