Democracy and Art by Rupert Brooke, first published in 1946, is a fascinating volume, particularly as it reflects the intellectual and philosophical concerns of the time, coming just after World War II. Brooke, who is more widely known for his war poetry during World War I, offers insights into art, society, and the role of democracy in a post-war world. His thoughts on art and culture would have resonated with the social movements and changes of the mid-20th century.
