Deconstructing the carefully crafted image promoted by his friends, this well-documented biography reveals a charismatic but deeply flawed human being—anti-Semitic, rampantly misogynistic, tormented by sexual ambivalence, jealousy, and paranoia. In \u003ci\u003eRupert Brooke: Life, Death and Myth\u003c\/i\u003e Nigel Jones gives us a clear-eyed, admirably thorough account of one of England's most cherished cultural icons.","brand":"Head of Zeus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054201323760,"sku":"9781781857168","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781781857168_p0.jpg?v=1763717829","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781781857168","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
