1914 And Other Poems [by Rupert Brooke] [1915]

Rupert Chawner Brooke [3 August 1887 – 23 April 1915] was an English poet known for his patriotic war sonnets written during the First World War, especially "The Soldier". As a war poet Brooke came to public attention in 1915 when The Times Literary Supplement quoted two of his five sonnets ["IV: The Dead" and "V: The Soldier"] in full on 11 March and his sonnet "V: The Soldier" was read from the pulpit of St Paul's Cathedral on Easter Sunday (4 April). Brooke's most famous collection of poetry, containing all five sonnets, 1914 & Other Poems, was first published in May 1915 and, in testament to his popularity, ran to 11 further impressions that year and by June 1918 had reached its 24th impression a process undoubtedly fueled through posthumous interest.
