Sidney Brooks (1872–1937) was a British writer and critic.[1] He was a frequent contributor to the Saturday Review and was in England writing reviews from late 1895 to January 1896, when he left to visit Chicago.[2] In America, his critical reviews and writings were sold to publications such as Harper's Magazine.[3]
Brooks was a notable passenger who was aboard the SS Tuscania,[4] a luxury ocean liner of the Cunard subsidiary Anchor Line, when it was torpedoed in 1918 by the German U-boat UB-77 while carrying American troops to Europe and sank with a loss of 210 lives.[5]
