He left behind a body of poetry that sensitively captured the pity, rage, valor, and futility of the conflict. In this new biography Guy Cuthbertson provides a fresh account of Owen's life and formative influences: the lower-middle-class childhood that he tried to escape; the places he lived in, from Birkenhead to Bordeaux; his class anxieties and his religious doubts; his sexuality and friendships; his close relationship with his mother and his childlike personality. Cuthbertson chronicles a great poet's growth to poetic maturity, illuminates the social strata of the extraordinary Edwardian era, and adds rich context to how Owen's enduring verse can be understood"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Owen, Wilfred, $d 1893-1918. 650 0 $a Poets, English $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain $x Literature and the war. 941 $a 6 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829012931.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075610.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131060254.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180103011854.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609040213.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826090658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=782BFC38D28811E3A8DAE9D9DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
