## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poet enjoying a renaissance?
*by G***R on 6 October 2021*

I love Rupert Brooke, I have loved him since I discovered him in my late teens. If he had lived beyond the age of 27 the literary world might have viewed him quite differently from the uber patriotic poet he is seen as. Even his most well known poem The Soldier is a much better poem than it would at first appear.This book is a real warts and all portrait and is all the better for it , Nigel Jones has done a great deal of research to give us a well rounded view of Rupert Brooke and contains some material which would have been hidden from view in a previous age. The only downside to the book is the paucity of photographs when a great many exist that would have better illustrated the text (maybe copyright issues?)Brooke was the golden young poet of his time , blessed with good looks and a magnetic personality but plagued with insecurities and doubts. He was beloved by a large group of friends which shines through in the text. I could go on, but read this for yourselves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent analysis of Brooke the man.
*by D***N on 23 October 2015*

Until now I was only aware of the much sanitized and hagiographic biography by Christopher Hassall, this excellent bio digs way below the surface to reveal the true nature and personality of this still fascinating young man, so much a product of his age.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More to Brooke than war sonnets
*by K***Y on 18 February 2013*

If you're an English teacher you've probably taught, and as a school pupil you've probably had to read, the obligatory WW1 poems - 'The Soldier', 'Dulce et decorum' etc. And maybe Brooke has come off worse as the patriotic, naive one who didn't know the reality of the trenches. So he and his work have been at worst, derided. For me, this biography placed the war sonnets in the overall context of his complex and difficult character, and of the milieau in which he had moved - to strip away some of the assumptions about him, confirm others, but to see the whole man and his work, 'warts and all'.The biography relies heavily on the letters, has lots of engaging detail - his swimming party piece is an anatomical feat - and occasionally frustrates with an assertion unsupported by reference, but is very readable throughout and will certainly challenge anyone who still sees Brooke as the National Treasure he was thought of at the time of his death.
