This volume reprints Brooke's complete oeuvre, from the early lyric poems to those written shortly before his death: "Tiare Tahiti," "The Great Lover," "The Dead," "The Soldier," many others.

Here are the unforgettable works of two British poets who chronicled The Great War, but never lived to see its end. Although some of Brooke's verses come from an earlier, happier time, the most powerful poems convey the tragedy of warfare, including Brooke's "1914: The Soldier" and Owen's "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "The Sentry."

The reputation of Rupert Brooke has survived many changes of literary fashion since his death in the Aegean in 1915, aged twenty-eight. This standard edition of his poems was edited and arranged by his great friend Geoffrey Keynes. It includes a considerable number of early pieces, among them two of his longest poems, "The Pyramids" and "The Bastille".

This publication focuses on making historical works accessible through large print, catering specifically to individuals with impaired vision. The Megali publishing house is dedicated to reproducing these texts, ensuring that important historical content is preserved and easily readable.

In May 1913, Rupert Brooke embarked on a year-long expedition of North America, visiting the United States, Canada, and finally the South Seas. He sent his impressions home in a series of letters, written for publication in the Westminster Gazette , describing all his various experiences and the beauty of arriving by boat at night in New York; the novelties of a baseball game; the awesome grandeur of Niagara Falls and the Canadian wilderness; and "the full deliciousness of traveling in an American train by night through new scenery." He is blunt in his judgments on society, business, and cities; playful in his accounts of Anglo-American relations; and finally humbled by the vastness of the landscape in which he finds himself. Henry James's foreword to the collection on its publication in 1916 is included here as an afterword.
