This book is part of the TREDITION CLASICS series. The creators of this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the intention of making all public domain books available in printed format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work, tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As a reader of a TREDITION CLASICS book, you support our mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.Rupert Brooke (1887-1915), a member of the group of British poets who rose to prominence during World War I, sprang to fame when two of his combat sonnets (The Dead and The Soldier) were published in London's Times Literary Supplement on March 11, 1915. 1914 and Other Poems was released less than two months later, and by June 1918, it had gone through 24 prints. Brooke sailed on a Navy ship in February 1915, after being enlisted into the British Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, to fight at Gallipoli in Turkey. He died of sepsis caused by an infected mosquito bite shortly after, at the age of 27, on a French hospital ship docked off the coast of Skyros in the Aegean Sea. Brooke was laid to rest in an olive grove on the Greek island of Skyros.
