Wilfred Owen
0 - Default Title
Description
Wilfred Owen tragically died in battle just a few days before the Armistice. Now during the centenary year of his death this biography honours Owen's brief yet remarkable life and the enduring legacy he left. Stallworthy covers his life from the childhood spent in the backstreets of Shrewsbury to the appalling final months in the trenches. More than a simple account of his life it is also a poet's enquiry into the workings of a poet's mind. This revised edition contains the beautiful illustrations of the original edition including the drawings by Owen and facsimile manuscripts of his greatest poems as well as a new preface by the author.
'One of the finest biographies of our time.' Graham Greene
'An outstanding book a worthy memorial to its subject.' Kingsley Amis
'As lovingly detailed as the records of Owen's short life permit but it is always fascinatingly readable in fact engrossing.' Sunday Telegraph
