"Letters from America" by Rupert Brooke is a collection of letters detailing the author’s travels across America and Canada in 1913 and illustrates his evolving perspectives as a British poet immersed in a new world. The narrative starts with his preconceived notions about America, which contrasts starkly with his actual experiences in New York which he finds the urban landscape both stunning and gritty. Through encounters and conversations, Brooke highlights the cultural differences between America and Britain. His journey becomes a reflection on identity, hospitality, and the essence of American society as he navigates its contrasts with his roots.
