Zusatztext The Great Lover has many wonderful scenes . . . But it is remarkable principally for its Rupert Brooke! glorious in all his agony and shame! particularly as he sees his sanity slipping away from him . . . this novel shows a rare mastery of materials. Dawson has worked the imaginary character of Nell so seamlessly into the narrative of Brooke's life that Nell seems to belong there. It is difficult to see where the many direct quotations from letters and memories end and Dawson's imagination begins.
