Rupert Brooke letters to Dudley Ward and to Frances Cornford, 1908-1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702199318

The collection consists of 45 letters to Dudley Ward and 33 to Frances (Darwin) Cornford, who was also a poet. The letters discuss in detail Brooke's complicated romantic relationships with "Ka" Cox, Noel Olivier, Cathleen Nesbitt, and the Tahitian woman Taata-Mata, whom Brooke met during his 1913 trip to the South Seas. They also describe his social life; his travels; his reading; and his experiences in the Royal Navy in 1915 and early 1916. Several 1910 letters to Cornford discuss a planned production of The Land of Heart's Desire.
