A recollection spoken by Sir Geoffrey Keynes with some unpublished letters of Henry James and Rupert Brooke read by Carleton Hobbs and Gabriel Woolf
Production by Douglas Cleverdon
In 1909 Henry James accepted an invitation to pay his first visit to Cambridge. It was during this June weekend that he made the acquaintance of Rupert Brooke. The climax of the visit was a ' 'floating idyll' in a punt, poled by Rupert Brooke , with the bulky form of Henry James comfortably disposed upon the cushions.
