1915. And a biographical note by Margaret Lavington. A collection of verse from the English poet, who at the outbreak of World War I joined the Royal Naval Division, served at Antwerp, and was in the Dardanelles expedition when he died of blood poisoning at the island of Skiros. Handsome and athletic, Brooke was also charming, intellectual, and witty, and was universally sought in society. His early fame and tragic death have made him an almost legendary figure and he is remembered as the War Poet.

Great Poet, Terrible Formatting,
By dpm "Dan" (Springfield, Illinois) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Collected Poems of Rupert Brooke (Kindle Edition)
I love Rupert Brooke's work, and I was excited to see a "professionally designed" edition available for the Kindle, but to call this professionally designed is an affront to professionals, and design. Some poems ("The Great Lover", among others) have lost all their line breaks; others have weird indentation problems. The headings are reproduced in the same font as the poems themselves.Disastrously, in a collection of poems, the table of contents isn't even linked; it's just a long, plain-text list.
None of these problems are present in even the Gutenberg edition of this same collection, and since that can be sent to one's Kindle for free I see no reason to make the same mistake I did. Find a better collection.

I was delighted when I discovered a complete collection of Rupert Brooke poetry. I fell in love with this poet as a teenager, and I still marvel at the beauty of the passages.

Lately I have been studying a lot of different poets and I have to say that I am rather impresses with his writings. This is a definite one to add to your collection.
