War Poems Of Wilfred Owen

Wilfred Owen was the greatest poet of the First World War, and his death in battle, a few days before Armistice, was a disastrous loss to English letters. This volume gathers together the poems for which he is best known, and which present perhaps his most important contribution to poetry in the 20th century: his war poems. Taken from the definitive edition of Owen’s work, and containing material unavailable to other editions, this selection has been edited by Professor John Stallworthy, who has written an illuminating and authoritative introduction.
