All England mourned his passing.  But behind the glow of myth lies a darker reality. At the height of his promise a disappointment in love triggered a mental and physical collapse that brought his inner complexities to the surface. Letters reveal a man who was sexually ambivalent  misogynistic  anti-Semitic  and sometimes alarmingly unstable.  This revised edition of Nigel Joness admired biography  including an account of a previously unknown affair of Brookes  reveals a more conflicted and troubled individual than the gilded Adonis of English literary myth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529592725557,"sku":"ByrdShop_1781857164","price":250.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781781857168.jpg?v=1780938243","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rupert-brooke-life-death-and-myth-9781781857168","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
