Description The Great Lover is a 2009 biographical novel by Jill Dawson. The novel follows the fictional Nell Golightly as she encounters the eccentric poet Rupert Brooke in Grantchester, Cambridgeshire. Set from 1909 until 1914, in the novel Dawson examines Brooke's relationship with Nell, and his growth as a poet and individual. The novel is based on the biography of Brooke during that period, incorporating opinions, ideas, and excerpts from Brooke's letters and other primary sources documenting his life.Much of the novel emphasises Brooke's sexuality and his understanding of love. Additionally, the novel contrasts the various elements of English upper- and lower-class life during the Edwardian period. Other notable elements of the novel include the vivid descriptions of the life in Grantchester and the borrowing of themes from Brooke's poetry such as beekeeping.Generally, reviews of the novel are positive, noting the complexity of the characterisation of both main characters and the ease which the novel communicates Brooke's life. Additionally, the novel was also featured in the 2009 Richard & Judy Summer Reads and The Daily Telegraph's "Novels of the Year" for 2009.
