Slide 7 - Diapositive
Brooke's poetry gives us a glimpse of a golden era in England just before the First World War: it was a golden time only for the upper classes, who enjoyed public school education, guaranteed employment (if they desired it) and access to the powerful members of society.
The gap between rich and poor was wide during this period, and unrest was beginning to grow among the lower classes. The war gave a huge shock to the system and, despite the terrible human cost, led eventually to a more equal society, not least because the poorer classes were largely the ones dying in the trenches.
