| Book Description | Of all the poets of the First World War, Wilfred Owen most fires the imagination today - this is the comprehensive literary biography of the greatest WW1 poet 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 |
| Editorial Review | One of the finest biographies of our time. -- Graham Greene "An outstanding book, a worthy memorial to its subject." -- Kingsley Amis * Observer * "An excellent book, not a critical study but a biography that shows unobtrusive critical acumen as well as deep imaginative understanding. It is as lovingly detailed as the records of Owen's short life permit, but it is always fascinatingly readable, in fact engrossing." -- John Lehmann * Sunday Telegraph * "This stunning work of non-fiction is a moving tribute to one of the giants of 20th century literature and deserves your immediate attention." * UK Press Syndication * "Indispensable to any student of Wilfred Owen's life and work." * Scotsman * |
