London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1915. First Edition. Leather Bound. Good. Good in the fine binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, rubbed at the edges and hinges, about three-quarters inch of a split starting at the bottom front hinge. Square and firmly bound with a gilt top edge, marbled endpapers, and a sewn-in bookmark. Brooke's most important collection of poetry, which features his much-anthologized "The Soldier." According to the prefatory note by Edward Marsh, Brooke planned on publishing a collection of poems in 1915 but had no part in the structure of this book due to his untimely death at age 27.

This collection of poems includes Rupert Brooke's famous war sonnets and captures his idealistic view of the First World War.
