With Brooke, we return once more, in however loose a sense, to what may be called the sphere of influence of Sterne; and, like Mackenzie, he, too, has sat at the feet of Rousseau.
Henry Brooke (1703?–83) was born in Ireland and educated at Trinity college, Dublin; he lived in Dublin for the greater part of his life.
And this contrast between the first and the second harvest of Rousseau’s influence is not the least interesting thing in the story of the eighteenth century novel.

The eccentric author of The Fool of Quality, Henry Brooke, was a poet long before he published that strange compound of genius and dulness.
Indeed, Brooke, in his latter days, was reputed a “methodist.”; 44 An attempt to translate Tasso, also in couplet, is but ineffectual, and a condensation of Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale sinks far below the comparative inadequacy of Dryden in such things, while it has nothing of his positive excellence.
Brooke also wrote Fables, in which he exhibits a fair knack at using the easy octosyllables in whose undress the century at large took refuge from the panoply of the heroic.

 William BROOKE (5° B. Cobham)
Brooke's knighthood, conferred on 1 Dec 1548 during the second session of the Parliament, suggests that he then stood well with the Protectoral regime, although his connexion with Northampton must later have aligned him with Somerset's rival Northumberland.
Brooke's election 18 months later for Rochester, which had been the starting-point of the rebellion, could therefore have given little satisfaction at court, and even less when towards the close of this Parliament he joined the opposition to one of the government's bills.
During the seven months that Brooke held the office, Shakespeare's company was forced to call themselves Lord Hunsdon's Men; they were so called on the First Quarto of Romeo and Juliet (published in 1597) and in the payment for their court performances in the 1596-97 Christmas season.

 Reading Henry Green by Brooke Allen
So oblique and subtle is Green’s style that, as Terry Southern points out, he has been called not merely a writer’s writer but a writer’s writer’s writer; yet he himself criticized Joyce and the later Henry James for allowing the excesses of their styles to hinder communication between author and reader.
Henry Yorke was thus not only an aristocrat but an industrialist as well.
As H. Wells said of the later Henry James, “his great sentences sweat and strain,” and the more desperately he reaches for precision the further it retreats from his grasp.

Henry had left Mount Vernon, in June of 1967 for the hills of Northampton, Massachusetts and eventually the hallowed ivy covered walls of Amherst College.
Brooke, who was from Pelham, had gone to college somewhere down south and had adopted an annoying southern-style of speaking.
He seemed to think of Henry’s choice of Randy, to be his assistant, as a type of personal “rejection.” He, like many, looked at Henry as a father figure and seemed to be depressed over Henry’s unrequited “love,” and loyalty to Randy, who was a friend, a great wrestler, and had been his former assistant.
