.Rupert Brooke
Rupert Brooke, one of the leading poets of his generation, was
renowned as a romantic, unlike many of his contemporaries who
1 specialized in writing about the pointless of war.
2 He was born in 1887, the son of a House Master at Rugby,
where Rupert attended both the preparatory and main schools. When
he went up to Cambridge in 1906 as a classics scholar, he fared badly
3 in his examinations as his interests laid in literature and theater.
4 During his time at Cambridge, his wit and good looks ensured his
5 place as a member of the elite circle of intellectuals studying there.
After university he went to study German in Munich, falling in
love with a sculptress there and working feverishly to begin his first
6 volume of poetry, which produced a profit within a few weeks of its
publication in 1911.
With his early success, Brooke often felt unsettled as he
7 struggled to come to term with the underlying contradictions in his
8 character. Many times his free spirits and bohemianism conflicted
9 directly with the innate Puritanism he had inherited from his mother.
10 Because of these he would sometimes distance himself from his
fellows and adopt an irrational suspicious attitude towards them.
