Rupert Chawner Brooke was born at Rugby on 3 August 1887. His father, William Parker Brooke, was a Rugby schoolmaster, whose academic career as a classical scholar and Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, his son was to emulate. In 1892 he became housemaster of School Field. Rupert's mother, Mary Ruth Cotterill, was a lady of stern character, decorous and autocratic. In later years he called her the Ranee (a name suggested by the Brookes of Sarawak, with whom, however, they were unconnected); this was testimony alike to her regal bearing and to his good-humoured acceptance of it.He was the second of three brothers. Dick, who was six years older, died after a short illness in January 1907. His death meant much to Rupert, then in his first year at King's; in 'The Call', the first of his poems to be published in Cambridge, he fancies a reunion with him. Alfred, three years younger, followed Rupert to King's, and there was a close bond between them: Sir John Sheppard, who kew each well, was emphatic that 'if Alfred were excluded from the family circle, it would be out of focus'. He was killed two months after Rupert while serving as a lieutenant in the Post Office Rifles. One of his last injunctions to his mother had been that she should on no account believe the sentiments of the '1914' sonnets: was was horrible.A second child, a girl, had died in infancy. Mrs Brooke, who was often shrewd in assessing character but pitifully ignorant of psychology, allowed Rupert to know how deeply she had hoped for another daughter before his birth. He was to write later: I am here because at Fettes, in the seventies, Willie Brooke and May Cotterill got thrown together. And then they had a son and a daughter, and the daughter died, and while the mother was thinking of her daughter another child was born, and it was a son, but in consequence of all this very female in parts — sehr dichterisch — me.As Hassall comments, there was nothing effeminate about him; but the fascination that there might be, and the fear that others might suppose there was, made him concerned both to convince himswlf and to persuade others of his virility.Brooke loathed his local preparatory school, Hillbrow, but he made a number of good friends there, including James Strachey, the younger brother of Lytton, who was his academic sparring-partner. He entered Rugby at fourteen at the house which had been his home. Marsh quotes Hugh Russel-Smith, a friend and contemporary at School Field: He was in all things more than loyal to his father, but he never made it awkward for the rest of us. His sense of fun saw him through, and it helped us a good deal to know that he would not misinterpret all the little pleasantries that boys make at the expense of their Housemaster. The result was a sort of union between the Housemaster and the House, which made very much for good.It is possible to think, however, that this close tie with home, especially with the dominating Ranee, made difficulties for Brooke, both then and later. In 1911 in Munich he was very excited by a performance of John Gabriel Borkman. 'Do you know the play ...?' he asked Jacques Raverat. 'Therein is a youth who will fly from his mother in order to LIVE (it happens in Norway also).'His school career was successful but not outstanding. He did the sort of things expected then (as now) of an English public schoolboy: captained his house, played cricket and football for the school (though not especially well), wrote poems for the school prize ('The Bastille' was successful), won a medal for prose with an essay on 'England's Debt to William III', and etc.

Великий английский поэт, погибший в первую мировую почти в лермонтовском возрасте 27-ми лет. Творчество поэта отличается удивительной ранимостью и светом существования. Как сказал о нём Набоков, переведший несколько его стихов : "некоторые его стихи хочется пить через соломинку, прижимать к лицу, словно цветы в росе".
