Wilfred Owen Name and title: Wilfred Edward Salter Owen Dates: Born: 18th March 1893 in Oswestry, Britain. Died: 4th November 1918 in Ors, France. Biography of Wilfred Owen: A compassionate poet, Wilfred Owen's work provides the finest description and critique of the soldier's experience during World War One. Wilfred Owen was born on March 18th 1893, to an apparently wealthy family; however, within two years his grandfather died on the verge of bankruptcy and, missing his support, the family were forced into poorer housing at Birkenhead. This fallen status left a permanent impression on Wilfred's mother, and it may have combined with her staunch piety to produce a child who was sensible, serious, and who struggled to equate his wartime experiences with Christian teachings. Owen studied well at schools in Birkenhead and, after another family move, Shrewsbury - where he even helped to teach - but he failed the University of London's entrance exam. Consequently, Wilfred became lay assistant to the vicar of Dunsden - an Oxfordshire parish - under an arrangement designed so the vicar would tutor Owen for another attempt at University. | |
