Forever England: The Life of Rupert BrookeMainstream Publishing, 1997 - 288 من الصفحات For many, Rupert Brooke is the embodiment of a generation that was all but wiped out between 1914 and 1918. His fame was largely brought about by the words of one of his sonnets, If I should die, think only this of me/There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England. This thought was a focal point for his generation. Brooke died in 1915, on his way to fight in Gallipoli. In this book the author explores Brooke's life from his days at Rugby, to his time in North America and the South Seas. The inspiration and influences behind many of his poems are explored through the examination of his circle of friends, politics, love life, and his nervous breakdown. |
