    Extractions: Wilfred Owen became one of the most famous war poets of World War One . Like so many others in the British Army, Wilfred Owen was killed in battle but his poetry remains an enduring legacy of his thoughts and emotions about the war – raging against armchairs generals but in praise of those who actually fought at the front. Wilfred Owen was born on March 18 th 1893 in Oswestry, Shropshire. He was the eldest of four children; he had two brothers, Harold and Colin, and a sister, Mary. He moved to Bordeaux to teach at the Berlitz School of English. Here Owen fell under the influence of the French poet Laurent Tailhade. Owen started to experiment with unusual styles of writing poetry and came up with his ‘vowel-rhyme stunt’. He was also literally miles away from his domineering mother and his letters clearly state that for the first time, he openly enjoyed himself and took to drinking wine and smoking. At the start of the war, Owen visited wounded French soldiers at a hospital at Baignères. He not only wrote about what he saw but also drew in great and graphic details the wounds he saw. In later years, his critics used this to claim that Owen had voyeuristic tendencies and that this crept into his most famous verses in the form of him exaggerating the whole pity that surrounded war in the trenches.

    Extractions: Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . . Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,- My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori

    Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Previous (Wild Bill Hickok) Next (Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen) Wilfred Owen Wilfred Edward Salter Owen (March 18, 1893 – November 4, 1918) was an English poet of the early twentieth century who is often esteemed to be the greatest war poet of World War I . He wrote dark and deeply ironic poems of the shocking realities of war, often composing poems while in the trenches themselves. Owen devoted himself to his dual callings as a poet and a military officer, and ultimately he would lose his life leading an offensive just a week before the close of the war. Owen's poetry was striking for its time, not only for its bitterly realistic content, but for its numerable innovations to form. Owen is considered one of the first poets in English to pioneer and popularize the use of half-rhyme and assonance as a substitute for more traditional full-rhymes. Influenced by John Keats as well as by his close friend and fellow-poet Siegfried Sassoon , Owen's poems provide a glimpse into the horrors and chaos of World War I with the perspective of a man who saw it all first-hand. As a recorder of a major moment in history, and as one of the most moving and heart-rending poets of his era, Owen is, despite his brief life and small output, one of the most important authors of the early twentieth century.

Works Cited Page Wilfred Owen: Greatest War Poet in the English Language (1893-1918) Yours, with affection, ever, W.E.O. Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893, he was the oldest of four children of Tom and Susan Owen. As a young child Wilfred Owen's family experienced financial difficulties which resulted in him having to attend the Birkenhead Insitute and the Technical School of Shrewsbury, not his dream school in Oxford. As a child his faith in religion was very strong, something that he had dearly shared with his mother. This close relationship he had with his religion failed him, though. As he got older his attention was drawn towards poety, in which he held his version of Truth that he could not reconcile with God. Notably known as a war poet, the beginning of war found Owen in France, but as a tutor rather than as a soldier. It was during this time that he met Laurent Tailhade, a poet known in the French Salons. The many aspirations of a young Wilfred Owen to become a renowed poet had grown in his association with the social circles of upper class he longed to be a part of.

    Extractions: The Booker Prize recently awarded to Barker for this book, the culmination of her astonishing WWI trilogy that began with Regeneration and The Eye in the Door, persuaded Dutton to move publication ahead by eight months, which is good news for American readers. Though it would seem almost impossible to look at that appalling conflict with a fresh eye, Barker has succeeded in ways that define the novelist's art: by close observation as well as by deployment of a broad and painfully compassionate vision, all rendered in prose whose very simplicity speaks volumes. The present book can be read without reference to the others, but all are mutually enriching. They revolve around William Rivers, a psychologist who pioneered the treatment of shell shock, and some of his patients, who include such real-life figures as... Strategy for Mobility
