 NumbersFrancis
Representative of this neglect is the biographical treatment of a small group of so-called Georgian poets greatly admired during the literary revival of the post-Edwardian period: Lascelles Abercrombie, Rupert Brooke, Wilfrid W. Gibson, and John Drinkwater.
Brooke, a barely-published poet and author of a single play, was enthralled by the stage throughout his brief life and, at the end, in love with its star actress Cathleen Nesbitt; Gibson, on the other hand, was a reluctant playwright whose verse dialogues were frequently performed.
The realism of the Georgian poets was quite different from the prose fiction established firmly on the stage by 1900, in the social, political, and ethical liberalism of an Ibsen, Archer, Pinero, Jones, or Shaw.
