Since his death in the First World War, Brooke has been identified with
a romantic myth of a lost world where church clocks stood still and
there was eternal honey for tea. But, as this book shows, the truth
about Brooke was both more shocking and a lot more interesting. Drawing
on a mass of documentation, much of it unpublished, this new biography
brings out the full story behind one of the century's most enduring
literary legends.
