| Description: | Accompanied by new notes and a new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen's Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen's character and poetic development. This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen''s letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet''s life in his own words.Wilfred Owen''s fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature.Owen''s letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century.Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen''s Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen''s character and poetic development. |
