Rupert Brooke: the Poetical Works by Rupert Brooke, Geoffrey L. Keynes

helenephoebe's review against another edition

5.0

Review - I read this when I was in high school as part of a module on War Literature, but what really brought it home to me was a trip to northern France and Belgium on a tour of war sites i.e. Menin Gate, Thiepval, etc. There is no better way to get a sense of the barbarity, loss and incredible strength in the First World War than by reading these poems in one of the places where men sacrificed themselves or are buried underfoot.
