Rupert Brooke: Collected Poems

More about the book

"Rupert Brooke has continued to fascinate people of all ages and walks of life ever since his untimely death en route to Gallipoli on St. George's Day 1915, at the age of 27. He lived his short life with intensity - he was not only a poet, but also a scholar, dramatist, literary critic, travel writer, political activist and soldier.
