Notes
Rupert Brooke died in April 1915, on the eve of the Gallipoli landings. During the war, Brooke became the iconic soldier-poet adored and mimicked by readers and would-be writers This book considers how a celebrity of war - an idol for fellow writers, politicians, literary elites, and the general public - came to be, providing a fuller sense of the circumstances that enabled his fame, of the world he inhabited, and of the passions and tastes of men and women living through a period of great upheaval. This book was published in association with Liverpool University Press.
