Dymock poets
The
Dymock poets were a
literary group of the early
20th century, who made their home in the
Gloucestershire village of
Dymock. They were
Robert Frost,
Lascelles Abercrombie,
Rupert Brooke,
Edward Thomas,
Wilfred Wilson Gibson, and
John Drinkwater, all of whom lived in the village in the period between
1911 and
1914. They published their own quarterly containing poems such as Brooke's masterpiece,
The Soldier. The
First World War resulted in the break-up of the community.
