The second I saw you : the true love story of Rupert Brooke and Phyllis Gardner
Beckett, Lorna C.2015
Books, Manuscripts
In 2000 the British Library uncovered a cache of letters and a memoir documenting the previously-unknown love affair between Brooke and Phyllis Gardner. Their story of love, conflict, and loss, expressed in spirited prose, makes these writings a fascinating glimpse into life on the eve of the First World War, as well as a powerful love story. This book tells this couple's story. It gives a revealing insight into the life and personality of Brooke, still revered for poems such as 'The Soldier' and 'A Channel Passage,' and uncovers the neglected story of Gardner, whose biography has been almost lost from history.
