Letters From America

Letters From America is a collection of letters written by the English poet Rupert Brooke during his travels to the United States in 1913. The letters were originally published in The Westminster Gazette and The New Statesman, and were later compiled into this book. In his letters, Brooke provides his observations and impressions of American culture, politics, and society, as well as his experiences touring various cities and meeting notable figures such as President Woodrow Wilson and writer Mark Twain. The letters offer a unique perspective on America during this time period, and provide insight into the mind of one of England's most celebrated poets. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in history, travel, or literature.Yet Boston is alive. It sits, in comfortable middle-age, on the ruins of its glory. But it is not buried beneath them. It used to lead America in Literature, Thought, Art, everything. The years have passed. It is remarkable how nearly now Boston is to New York what Munich is to Berlin. Boston and Munich were the leaders forty years ago. They can't quite make out that they aren't now. It is too incredible that Art should leave her goose-feather bed and away to the wraggle-taggle business-men.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
