Autorenporträt
Rupert Chawner Brooke was an English poet renowned for his idealistic and patriotic war sonnets composed during the First World War, with The Soldier standing out as one of his most famous works. Born in 1887 in Rugby, England, Brooke was educated at prestigious institutions including Rugby School and King's College, Cambridge, where he developed his poetic talent and engaged with intellectual circles. His poetry reflects themes of honor, sacrifice, and the nobility of dying for one's country, capturing the early war sentiment before the harsh realities of conflict became widely understood. Beyond his literary work, Brooke was noted for his striking boyish appearance, earning admiration from contemporaries such as W. B. Yeats, who described him as the handsomest young man in England. Tragically, his promising career was cut short when he died in 1915 at the age of 27 while serving as a naval officer during the war. Brooke was buried on the Greek island of Skyros, and his legacy endures as a symbol of youthful idealism and the poignant spirit of a generation shaped by war.
