This volume reprints Brooke's complete oeuvre, from the early lyric poems to those written shortly before his death: "Tiare Tahiti," "The Great Lover," "The Dead," "The Soldier," many others.
Here are the unforgettable works of two British poets who chronicled The Great War, but never lived to see its end. Although some of Brooke's verses come from an earlier, happier time, the most powerful poems convey the tragedy of warfare, including Brooke's "1914: The Soldier" and Owen's "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "The Sentry."
The reputation of Rupert Brooke has survived many changes of literary fashion since his death in the Aegean in 1915, aged twenty-eight. This standard edition of his poems was edited and arranged by his great friend Geoffrey Keynes. It includes a considerable number of early pieces, among them two of his longest poems, "The Pyramids" and "The Bastille".
