	Rupert Brooke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brooke was born at 5 Hillmorton Road in Rugby, Warwickshire, England, the son of a William Parker Brooke, a Rugby schoolmaster and Ruth Mary Brooke née Cotterill.
		Brooke was once engaged to Noel Olivier, whom he met while she was a 15-year-old at the progressive Bedales School.
		As a side-note, Rupert Brooke's brother, 2nd Lt. William Alfred Cotterill Brooke was a member of the 8th Battalion London Regiment (Post Office Rifles) and was killed in action near Le Rutoire Farm on the historic Loos battlefield on June 14, 1915, aged 24.

	Rupert Brooke
		Rupert Brooke was born in Rugby, Warwickshire, where his father taught classics and was a housemaster at Rugby School.
		Brooke's appeal began to wane after the acrid poems of Wilfred Owen (1893-1918), who was machine-gunned to death, and Siegfried Sassoon's visions of "the hell where youth and laugher go," as Sassoon wrote.
		Brooke's chivalry became his literary burden and he is now chiefly valued for his lighter verse, for the Tahiti poems, and for a few sonnets.

	Rupert Brooke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		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.

	BBC - History - Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915)
		After leaving Cambridge, Brooke studied in Germany and travelled in Italy, but his favourite pastime was rambling in the countryside around the village of Grantchester, which he celebrated in his poem, 'The Old Vicarage, Grantchester' (1912).
		Brooke's poems were published in 1911, and after a year wandering in the North America and the South Seas, he was commissioned into the Royal Navy.
		Rupert Brooke caught the optimism of the opening months of the war, with his wartime sonnets 1914 (1915) expressing an idealism in the face of death that contrasts strongly to poetry published later in the war and after his death.

	The Academy of American Poets - Rupert Brooke
		English poet Rupert Chawner Brooke was born in 1887.
		While critics viewed Brooke's poetry as too sentimental and lacking depth, they also considered his work a reflection of the mood in England during the years leading up to World War I. After experiencing a mental breakdown in 1913, Brooke traveled again, spending several months in America, Canada, and the South Seas.
		Following his death, Brooke, who was already famous, became a symbol in England of the tragic loss of talented youth during the war.

	Rupert Brooke 1887-1915, idolised poet of the First World War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Almost all who met Rupert Brooke fell under the power of his charismatic personality, and his spell lasts to the present day.
		Brooke's importance as a poet lies partly in the extraordinary success he enjoyed as a spokesman for popular attitudes and beliefs in the opening months of the First World War.
		There is more in Minds at War about Brooke, (about 16 pages) including all his war sonnets, his contrastingly sober last poem, Soon to Die, and many extracts from letters which are revealing about the state of his mind in the last months of his life.

	Rupert Brooke's Obituary in The Times
		Rupert Brooke died on April 23 (coincidentally, the traditional observance of St. George's Day, and the birthday of Shakespeare), 1915.
		Joyous, fearless, versatile, deeply instructed, with classic symmetry of mind and body, ruled by high undoubting purpose, he was all that one would wish England's noblest sons to be in the days when no sacrifice but the most precious is acceptable, and the most precious is that which is most freely proffered.
		Perhaps the political connection in Churchill's eulogy of Rupert Brooke is merely coincidence.

		While Brooke is well-known in England, if just for that poem and the patriotic martyrdom that his subsequent death represented, he is virtually unknown in the rest of the world.

		Brooke was this handsome patriotic playboy and all his war-related poems are about the nobility of dying for your country, etc. He never actually fought.
		Owen was actually an officer in World War I and saw the worst of trench life, and many of his poems attempt (and succeed, in my opinion) in splashing mud all over Brooke's romanticized image of war and country.
		Brooke's poetry is very pretty, tidy, contained but Owen actually verges on being profound.

		Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) 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.
		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."
		Stallworthy notes that "England at that time needed a focal point for its griefs, ideals and aspirations, and the valedictory that appeared in The Times [April 26, 1915] over the initials of Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, sounded a note that was to swell over the months and years that followed:
