Charles Tucker Brooke received an A.B. from West Virginia University at the age of eighteen and an M.A. one year later.  Awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 1904, he was a member of the first group of Rhodes Scholars from around the world.  At WVU he was class poet and a member of Kappa Alpha.  He studied at St. John's (more properly, the President and Scholars of Saint John Baptist College in the University of Oxford) and received B.A. and B. Lit. Degrees. In 1908, 1909, and 1910, his works were published in England.  In 1909, he began a teaching career at Yale University, eventually becoming the Sterling Professor of English and a leading authority on Shakespeare and Elizabethan literature.
