War poem Influences Siegfried Sassoon John Keats Wilfred Edward Salter Owen MC March 18 November 4 ) was a British poet and soldier , regarded by many as the leading poet of the First World War . His shocking, realistic war poetry on the horrors of trench and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his friend Siegfried Sassoon and sat in stark contrast to both the public perception of war at the time, and to the confidently patriotic verse written earlier by war poets such as Rupert Brooke . Some of his best-known works—most of which were published posthumously—include Dulce Et Decorum Est Anthem for Doomed Youth Futility , and Strange Meeting . His preface intended for a book of poems to be published in 1919 contains numerous well-known phrases, especially 'War, and the pity of War', and 'the Poetry is in the pity'. He is perhaps just as well-known for having been killed in action at the Sambre-Oise Canal just a week before the war ended, causing news of his death to reach home as the town's church bells declared peace.

Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893. He was on the Continent teaching until he visited a hospital for the wounded and then decided, in September, 1915, to return to England and enlist. "I came out in order to help these boys directly by leading them as well as an officer can; indirectly, by watching their sufferings that I may speak of them as well as a pleader can. I have done the first" (October, 1918). Owen was injured in March 1917 and sent home; he was fit for duty in August, 1918, and returned to the front. November 4, just seven days before the Armistice, he was caught in a German machine gun attack and killed. He was twenty-five when he died. The bells were ringing on November 11, 1918, in Shrewsbury to celebrate the Armistice when the doorbell rang at his parent's home, bringing them the telegram telling them their son was dead. the poetry

After the death of his grandfather in 1897 the family moved to Birkenhead (Merseyside). His education began at the Birkenhead Institute, and then continued at the Technical School in Shrewsbury when the family were forced to move there in 1906-7 when his father was appointed Assistant Superintendent for the Western Region of the railways. Already displaying a keen interest in the arts, Owen's earliest experiments in poetry began at the age of 17. After failing to attain entrance to the University of London, he spent a year as a lay assistant to the Revd. Herbert Wigan at Dunsden before leaving for Bordeaux, France, to teach at the Berlitz School of English. During the latter part of 1914 and early 1915 Owen became increasingly aware of the magnitude of the War and he returned to England in September 1915 to enlist in the Artists' Rifles a month later. He received his commission to the Manchester Regiment (5th Battalion) in June 1916, and spent the rest of the year training in England. 1917 in many ways was the pivotal year in his life, although it was to prove to be his penultimate. In January he was posted to France and saw his first action in which he and his men were forced to hold a flooded dug-out in no-man's land for fifty hours whilst under heavy bombardment. In March he was injured with concussion but returned to the front-line in April. In May he was caught in a shell-explosion and when his battalion was eventually relieved he was diagnosed as having shell-shock ('neurasthenia'). He was evacuated to England and on June 26th he arrived at

Navigation Page Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born in Oswestry on March 18, 1893, the eldest of four children. Despite Owen's longing to go to public school and Oxford, he was educated at Birkenhead Institute and then the Technical School in Shrewsbury, owing to his family's lack of money to pay for a public school education. By the time he left school Owen was writing verse and dreaming of becoming a poet. At this time he was going through a period of devotion to Keats, although he thought Shelley a greater genius, and was also influenced by other nineteenth-century writers. Owen was also influenced by Ruskin's remark that a poet should know about the world as a whole; plants and stones, as well as people, which is reflected in Owen's interest in botany, geology and astronomy. He shared with his mother a simple evangelical faith, and developed a sense of mission which eventually found expression in his preaching against the war. Since University fees were out of the question Owen had to try for a scholarship. After a brief period as a pupil-teacher in 1911, Owen became an unpaid assistant to the vicar of Dunsden, near Reading, in return for tuition. He found the "Silence, the State, and the Stiffness" of life in the vicarage hard, and poetry became increasingly valuable to him. His first cousin, Leslie Gunston, lived nearby and he became Owen's literary confidant and his closest friend until 1917. They took to writing poems in competition with each other.

Selections of Wilfred Owen's Poetry In August 1918, after his friend, the other great War Poet, Siegfried Sassoon, had been severely injured and sent back to England, Owen returned to France where he longed to return to the front although he seemed to know he would be killed there. War was still as horrid as before, but during an attack during the first days of October 1918 he won the Military Cross. Owen was finally machine-gunned to death at the Sambre Canal near Ors in one of the last attacks on the German lines of the war on November 4, 1918 - exactly seven days before the signing of the Armistice. Owen, one of approximately 9,000,000 million fatalities in World War I, was twenty-five years old when he was killed. The bells had been ringing for one hour on November 11, 1918, in Shrewsbury, England, to celebrate the Armistice when the doorbell rang at Tom and Susan Owen's home, announcing the arrival of the telegram informing them their son was dead.

Unfinished Poems and Fragments Short Biography Wilfred Owen was born the 18th of March 1893 in Oswestry (United Kingdom). He was the eldest of four children and brought up in the Anglican religion of the evangelical school. For an evangelical, man is saved not by the good he does; but by the faith he has in the redeeming power of Christ's sacrifice. Though he had rejected much of his belief by 1913, the influence of his education remains visible in his poems and in their themes: sacrifice, Biblical language, his description of Hell. He moved to Bordeaux (France) in 1913, as a teacher of English in the Berlitz School of Languages; one year later he was a private teacher in a prosperous family in the Pyrenees. He enlisted in the Artists' Rifles on 21st October 1915; there followed 14 months of training in England. He was drafted to France in 1917, the worst war winter. His total war experience will be rather short: four months, from which only five weeks in the line. On this is based all his war poetry. After battle experience, thoroughly shocked by horrors of war, he went to Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh. In August 1918, after his friend, the other great War Poet, Siegfried Sassoon, had been severely injured and sent back to England, Owen returned to France. War was still as horrid as before. The butchery was ended on 11th November 1918 at 11 o'clock. Seven days before Owen had been killed in one of the last vain battles of this war.

He was evacuated to England and arrived at Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh in June. There he met the poet Siegfried Sassoon, who already had a reputation as a poet and shared Owen's views. Sassoon agreed to look over Owen's poems, gave him encouragement and introduced him to literary figures such as Robert Graves.

20. First World War.com - Prose & Poetry - Wilfred Owen And His Early Editors First World War.com Prose Poetry - wilfred owen and his Early Editors. http://www.firstworldwar.com/poetsandprose/owen_editors.htm

Updated - Thursday, 11 April, 2002 Wilfred Owen is considered by many to be perhaps the best war poet in English, if not world, literature. Yet, at the time of his death on November 4, 1918, only five of his poems had been published. Thus, due to his premature death, it is clear that Wilfred Owen was not responsible for the development of his own reputation. Instead, it was through the efforts of his editors that Wilfred Owen and his poetry were not forgotten on the bloody fields of France. Indeed, I would argue that the three earliest editions of Owen's poems ( Siegfried Sassoon and Edith Sitwell, 1920; Edmund Blunden , 1931; and C. Day Lewis, 1963) were responsible for establishing Owen's reputation and that reputation was reaffirmed by subsequent editions. This means that in order to understand Wilfred Owen's position in English literature, one must examine the different editions of Owen's poems and the agendas of each editor. The first edition of his poems, co-edited by Sassoon and Sitwell, created problems immediately, as Sitwell and Sassoon argued over control of the project.
