1571 Rupert Brooke: A biography, by Christopher Hassall (read 31 May 1980) Brooke was born 3 Aug 1887 at Rugby, and died 23 April 1915 on Scyros in the Aegean. This is a long book, detailed, but I really enjoyed it very much. I was impressed by the poetry, and while Brooke's romance with Ka Cox was tedious and not interesting, I reveled in the English pictures. I really had known little of him--that he had gone to Tahiti, even New Zealand, and the U.S. and Canada. The book is a little obscure, as if one knows stuff one doesn't, but I really believe it was worthwhile to read it, even though the body of his work does not fill a large volume. A memorable volume.
