Although he saw only five of his poems published in his lifetime, he left behind a portfolio of poetry and letters that created a powerful legacy. This generously illustrated book tells the story of Wilfred Owen's life and work anew, from his birth in 1893 until his death one week before the Armistice on 4 November 1918. It chronicles Owen's journey from a romantic youth, steeped in the poetry of Keats, to mature soldier awakened to the horrors of the Western Front. Drawing on rich archival material such as personal books, artefacts, family photographs and numerous manuscripts, the volume takes a fresh look at Owen's apprenticeship and eventual mastery of poetry, giving a comprehensive view of the relationship between his lived experience and his writing. Those already familiar with or well-versed in Owen's work will find new material in this book, and those coming to Owen for the first time will enjoy a well researched, yet accessible, illustrated introduction to one of the twentieth century's greatest poets. 600 10 $a Owen, Wilfred, $d 1893-1918. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79006808 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Literature and the war. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113365 650 0 $a Poets, English $y 20th century $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109426 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Great Britain $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111225 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 $a Stallworthy, Jon. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79065046 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230040209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4101FE58ED3011E78644BA0B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
