| "When 'The Soldier' is read alongside his other poems one realizes what a huge loss his early death in war represents." These ecstatic poems form the heritage and chronicle of a handsome British youth who died in the Great War. Rupert Chawner/Chaucer Brooke (1887-1915), was an English poet known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War especially 'The Soldier', however, he never experienced combat at first hand. He was also known for his boyish good looks. Brooke toured the United States and Canada to write travel diaries for the Westminster Gazette. Amongst his other works are: The Bastille (1905), Poems (1911), The South Seas (1914), 1914 and Other Poems (1915), Lithuania (1915), The Collected Poems (1915/1918) and Letters from America (1916).
