'Seaside' Summary
'Seaside' is a collection of poems by Rupert Brooke, known for his idealistic war sonnets. Though written before the First World War, the poems foreshadow the approaching conflict. One prominent theme is the beauty and tranquility of nature, a reflection of the idyllic English landscape. Brooke's poetry often expresses themes of love, longing, and the inevitability of death. The collection features a blend of personal reflections and evocations of natural settings, reflecting Brooke's romantic sensibility and artistic talent. While not explicitly about war, 'Seaside' reveals an undercurrent of foreshadowing and a sense of impending loss, making these poems even more poignant in hindsight.Book Details
