ABSTRACT
Brooke (1887-1915), the golden boy of Edwardian letters, repented his early enthusiasm for Pound and their relationship remained awkward. Brooke attacked Pound in the Poetry Review (November 1912) for a less than enthusiastic reference to Lascelles Abercrombie, a minor Georgian poet. Pound referred to this attack in a letter to Harriet Monroe of 22 October 1912 (Letters, p. 46), and announced his determination to 'stand alone'. Brooke's review is collected in The Prose of Rupert Brooke, edited by Christopher Hassall (London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1956).
