The Hill By Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)
Librivox volunteers bring you 15 recordings of The Hill by Rupert Brooke. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 15, 2011.
Rupert Chawner Brooke was an English poet known for his
idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War (especially
The Soldier). He was also known for his boyish good looks, which
prompted the Irish poet William Butler Yeats to describe him as “the handsomest young man in England”. (summary from Wikipedia) Total running time: 00:19:36. Book Coordinator/Meta-Coordinator/ Cataloging: David Lawrence
