Rupert Brooke From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Rupert Brooke in 1913 Rupert Chawner Brooke (middle name sometimes given as Chaucer August 3 April 23 ) was an English poet known for his idealistic War Sonnets written during the First World War (especially The Soldier ), ironically he never experienced combat at first hand. He was also known for his boyish good looks, which prompted the Irish poet William Butler Yeats to describe him as "the handsomest young man in England". edit Biography Brooke was born in Rugby Warwickshire England , the second of the three sons of William Parker Brooke, a Rugby schoolmaster, and Ruth Mary Brooke n©e Cotterill. He attended Hillbrow Prep School before being educated at Rugby School . While travelling in Europe , he prepared a thesis entitled " John Webster and the Elizabethan Drama ", which won him a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge , where he became a member of the Cambridge Apostles , helped found the Marlowe Society drama club and acted in plays including the Cambridge Greek Play .

Rupert Brooke, 1887-1915 "A young Apollo, golden-haired, Stands dreaming on the verge of strife, Magnificently unprepared For the long littleness of life." These lines were written by Frances Cornford for Brooke, called by W. B. Yeats, "The most handsome man in England." Rupert Brooke was born into a well-to-do, academic family; his father was a housemaster at Rugby School, where Rupert was educated before going on to King's College, Cambridge. He was a good student and athlete, andin part because of his strikingly handsome looksa popular young man who eventually numbered among his friends E. M. Forster, Maynard Keynes, Virginia Woolf, and Edward Thomas. Even as a student he was familiar in literary circles and came to know many important political, literary and social figures before the war. Brooke actually saw little combat during the war; he contracted blood-poisoning from a small neglected injury and died in April, 1915, in the Aegean. Brooke's reputation, aside from the myth of the fallen "golden warrior" that his friends set about creating almost immediately after his death, rests on the five war sonnets of 1914. Some of his earlier poetry"Fish," Helen and Menelaus," and "Heaven"however, shows us a much different side of Brooke's talent and temperament. Some critics doubt that he would have written the sonnets later in the war had he lived. They show an enthusiasm that most soldiers and poets eventually lost; another poet, Charles Sorley, said of Brooke's poetry, "He has clothed his attitudes in fine words: but he has taken the sentimental attitude." Sorley held, as a matter of fact, a low opinion of most war poetry: "The voice of our poets and men of letters is finely trained and sweet to hear; it teems with sharp saws and rich sentiment: it is a marvel of delicate technique: it pleases, it flatters, it charms, it soothes: it is a living lie." Sorley was killed in 1915, so he did not live to see the brutal turn poetry would take in the works of Owen, Sassoon and Rosenberg.

Rupert Brooke Online College and University Degree Guide History Learning Site World War One > Rupert Brooke Rupert Brooke was a famous poet from World War One . Brooke was for years probably the most pre-eminent war poet from that era and was feted along with the likes of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon Rupert Brooke was born on August 3 rd 1887. His father was a teacher at Rugby school and Brooke was to spend five years there. He gained a reputation for being artistic but also as someone who excelled at sport. In 1906 Brooke won a scholarship to King’s College, Cambridge. A contemporary of his at King’s, Frances Cornford, described Brooke as “a young Apollo”. He had a glittering array of friends at Cambridge – E M Forster, Virginia Woolf and Cornford. He knew Hugh Dalton and for a while dabbled in socialist politics. In 1910 he stood in for his recently deceased father at Rugby. He worked at the school for a term and then returned to Cambridge to continue his work on English authors. When he was not doing this he travelled and wrote poetry. His first collection of poems was published in December 1911, and simply called “Poems”. In 1912 Brookes spent more time travelling in Europe. After recovering from a mystery illness that caused him to return to Rugby, Brookes continued his travels and went to Berlin. Here he wrote ‘The Sentimental Exile’. His friend Edward Marsh persuaded Brookes to change the title to ‘The Old Vicarage, Grantchester’ and it became his most famous pre-war poem.

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.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Rupert (Chawner) Brooke (1887-1915) Promising English poet who died young in World War I. Brooke's best-known work is the sonnet sequence 1914 AND OTHER POEMS (1915), containing the famous 'The Soldier.' Poets have always glorified war, and Brooke did his best to continue the tradition, and sacrifice himself in this effort. His death made him the hero of the first phase of the war and a canonized symbol of all the gifted young people destroyed by the conflict. However, Brooke's poetry with its patriotic mood and naive enthusiasm went out of fashion as the realities of warfare were fully understood. "If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England." (from 'The Soldier' In 1911 appeared Brooke first collection of verse, POEMS, and his work was featured in the periodical Georgian Poetry , edited by his friend, Sir Edward Marsh. Over the next twenty years, the book sold almost 100 000 copies. In 1911 Brooke was secretly engaged to Noel Olivier, five years his junior. The affair was for all participants frustrating and subsequently Brooke had an affair with the actress Cathleen Nesbitt. Overworked and emotionally empty, Brooke suffered a nervous breakdown. In the spring of 1912, Brooke and Ka Cox went to Germany, where he wrote 'The Old Vicarage, Grantchester', which is among his most admired poems.

The Dead More Poems by Brooke Biography For one whom Yeats proclaimed "the handsomest young man in England," Rupert Brooke has not aged well. The neo-Romanticism of Brooke and the Georgian Poets was one of the casualties of The Great War. Paul Fussell (in The Great War and Modern Memory ) sees irony as one of the by-products of the First World War, and one of the many ironies of the war is that Rupert Brooke is remembered as a war poet at all, because he is actually not a war poet not in the same sense that Siegfried Sassoon , Robert Graves and Wilfred Owen are war poets. Rupert Brooke is rather a pre-war poet. To borrow Blake's contrast, Brooke wrote Songs of Innocence Songs of Experience Brooke's entire reputation as a war poet rests on only 5 "war sonnets" (6 if you count " Treasure " unnumbered in his short sonnet cycle). Brooke's war experience consisted of one day of limited military action with the Hood Battalion during the evacuation of Antwerp. Consequently, his "war sonnets" swell with sentiments of the most general kind on the themes of maturity, purpose and romantic death the kind of sentiments held by many (but not all) young Englishmen at the outbreak of the war. Brooke's "war sonnets" are really more a declaration occasioned by the ups and downs of his tumultuous personal life than a call to war for his generation.
