RBRupert Chawner Brooke
Rupert Chawner Brooke (middle name sometimes given as Chaucer)(3 August 1887–23 April 1915) was an English poet known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War (especially The Soldier); however, he never experienced combat at first hand. He was also known for his boyish good looks, which prompted the Irish poet William Butler Yeats to describe him as \"the handsomest young man in England\". English poet Brooke was born at 5 Hillmorton Road in Rugby, Warwickshire, the second of the three sons of William Parker Brooke, a Rugby schoolmaster, and Ruth Mary Brooke, née Cotterill. He attended Hillbrow Prep School before being educated at Rugby School. While travelling in Europe, he prepared a thesis entitled \"John Webster and the Elizabethan Drama\", which won him a scholarship to King\'s College, Cambridge, where he became a member of the Cambridge Apostles, helped found the Marlowe Society drama club and acted in plays including the Cambridge Greek Play.

Angela Carter
Angela Olive Stalker was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, England on the 8th May 1940. War had broken out in Europe and she was evacuated as a child to Yorkshire to live with her maternal grandmother, a working-class, matriarchal, domineering, feminist bread-\'n-buta granny of the north of England. Carter left school and started work at the age of nineteen for the Croydon Advertiser, following in the footsteps of her father - who was a Scottish journalist working in London. One year later she met and married Paul Carter. She was to divorce him almost twelve years after, in 1972. She studied English at the University of Bristol and built on her already vast cultural and literary baggage. Her mother was a great literary influence on her, as she devoured book after book and author after author. Her upbringing was very much based on the works of Shakespeare and great names of English literature. The influence of authors on her work is enormous and perhaps incalculable. There are references to...

JVJakob Vorberger
Jakob Vorberger *20.10.1926, Freidorf/Banat/Rumänien; †29.09.2001, Freilassing/Bayern/Deutschland Jakob Vorberger war gerade mal 19 Jahre alt, als er in ein stalinistisches Arbeitslager deportiert wurde. Da hatte er allerdings schon einen Gymnasiumsabschluss der deutschen Lehranstalt „Banatia“ in der Tasche. Der sollte ihm auch dienlich werden, als er bereits 1946 aus dem Zwangsarbeitslager krankheitsbedingt vorzeitig entlassen wurde und nach Freidorf zurückkehren konnte. Seiner Neigung folgend, suchte er seinen Brotberuf nicht in der hauseigenen Schreinerei, sondern in der Schreiberzunft. FREIHEIT hieß sein erster Arbeitgeber, ein sozialdemokratisches Temeswarer Tageblatt, und eine Journalistenlaufbahn hatte ihren Anfang genommen. Das war im Jahre 1947. Ein Jahr später heuerte er bei der berühmten TEMEVARER ZEITUNG an. Es war halt eine ungute Zeit, auch für junge, ambitionierte Journalisten. 1949 stellten die Kommunisten dieses verdiente Presseorgan ein. Das veranlasste Jakob...
