THE SOLDIER. Written just before the First World War, Rupert Brooke's The Soldier was used as a recruiting poem for that war and wars after. Yet the man who wrote it had very limited experience of warfare. How far is this still very famous poem a piece of out-dated jingoism? Or how far can it be seen as a love poem to England? This lecture presents the arguments for both interpretations. • Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE. • COMMENTS also are gratefully received. • Click http://andrewbarker.info should you wish for extra notes and a transcript of the lecture and analysis above. • Andrew Barker
