The Life and Works of Rupert Brooke Return home Biography From the years of 1887 to 1915 lived one of the most memorable war poets of the 20th century. Rupert Brooke was raised in an upper class family, and he was educated at Rugby School where his father was the housemaster and later at King's College in Cambridge. He was remembered as the bright student/athlete who was quickly accepted amongst the most prominent literary circles including Maynard Keynes, Virginia Woolf, and Edward Thomas. Brooke soon gained a literary reputation despite his youth and naivete. Brooke was required to fight in World War I, but he did not fight much. In April of 1915, he contracted some kind of blood poisoning from neglecting a wound and died shortly after. Because of Brooke's short life and his already admired works, he quickly acquired the reputation as "A young Apollo, golden-haired," and W.B. Yeats believed he was "the most handsome man in England." Some believe that Brooke's influence upon the poetic styles of war poetry was overrated, but most note that he should be admired for his efforts and sentimental interpretations. Brooke's literary role was commented on by Jon Stallworthy in the following passage: The thoughts to which he gave expression in the very few incomparable war sonnets which he has left behind will be shared by many thousands of young men moving resolutely and blithely forward into this, the hardest, cruelest, and the least-rewarded of all the wars that men have fought. They are a whole history and revelation of Rupert Brooke himself. Joyous, fearless, versatile, deeply instructed, with classic symmetry of mind and body, he was all that one would with England's noblest sons to be in days when no sacrifice but the most previous is acceptable, and the most precious is that which is most freely proffered.

Cheap Web Site Hosting Rupert Brooke Rupert Chawner Brooke wrote some of the most romantic and insightful poems of the early twentieth century. Though he lived only 27 years, he is among the most beloved of English poets, having written in the fifth part "The Soldier" of his sonnet sequence 1914, shortly before his death in the Aegean during World War I, in which he proclaimed the sentiment that would shortly grace his own tomb in Greece: If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;

Main Page Dates Places People and Events Rupert Brooke The most famous of the British “war poets” rising to prominence during the First World War, Rupert Brooke combined literary talent with legendary good looks. That he died as a young soldier at the height of his beauty and popularity assured his fame in a way that his poetry alone could not. By the time he was graduated from Cambridge he had earned the sobriquet of “the Handsomest Man in England”, and it is difficult now to disentangle his literary merit from his dazzling celebrity. While an undergraduate he attracted the amorous attentions of both men and women, but it was not until 1909, at the age of twenty-two, that he had his first sexual encounter. It was with a man. He described his seduction of Denham Russell-Smith (a former fellow student at Rugby) in some detail. (“My right hand got hold of the left half of his bottom, clutched it, and pressed his body into me. The smell of sweat began to be noticeable. At length we took to rolling to and fro over each other, in the excitement.”) James Strachey, brother of Lytton Strachey of the Bloomsbury Group, fell deeply in love with Brooke, and while the poet did not return the intensity of feeling, he did hold Strachey in high regard. The two men exchanged correspondence for the last decade of Brooke’s life. While on a trip to America in 1913, Brooke made a brief visit to Berkeley, staying at the Carleton Hotel on the corner of Telegraph and Durant. He wrote to Strachey from the hotel:

RUPERT BROOKE famous and idolised poet of the First World War RUPERT BROOKE 1887-1915 Almost all who met Rupert Brooke fell under the power of his charismatic personality, and his spell lasts to the present day. In spite of all the well deserved adverse criticism of his famous war sonnets he still has many admirers. There are two recent biographies of him. One came out in 1997 (by Mike Read); Rupert Brooke: Life, Death and Myth by Nigel Jones was published in October 1999 (320 pages, hardback, Richard Cohen Books), and a film about him is due out soon. The Rupert Brooke Society was launched on August 24th 1999. (Contact Susan Moore on 01223 845 788 or fax 01223 845 862. email rbs@callan.co.uk) Brooke's importance as a poet lies partly in the extraordinary success he enjoyed as a spokesman for popular attitudes and beliefs in the opening months of the First World War. The selfless heroic gesture which he expressed in such beautiful and modest terms is still very appealing. Sadly, his verse should not be taken at face value; the heroism was a mask that hid the tragedy of his life. For a brief account of his life see the extract from Minds at War . There is more in Minds at War about Brooke, (about 16 pages) including all his war sonnets, his contrastingly sober last poem
