Sinopsis

No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War. Published to commemorate the centenary of 1914, this stunning set of books, with specially commissioned covers by leading print makers, is an essential gathering of our most beloved war poets introduced by leading poets and biographers of our present day. Dying at twenty-five, a week before the end of the First World War, Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) has come to represent a generation of young men sacrificed - as it seems to the next generation, one in unprecedented rebellion against its fathers - by guilty old men: generals, politicians, profiteers. Owen has now taken his place in literary history as perhaps the first, certainly the quintessential, war poet.

Escrito por Wilfred Owen

Wilfred Edward Salter Owen va néixer el 18 de març de 1893 a Oswestry, Anglaterra. Juntament amb Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves i Rupert Brooke, formen el nucli principal del grup de poetes conegut com The War Poets. Acabats els estudis, va fer un any de mestre assistent del reverend Herbert Wigan i el 1913 es va traslladar a Bordeus, on va treballar de professor d’anglès a l’acadèmia Berlitz. El 1915 va tornar a Anglaterra i es va allistar a l’Artists Rifles. El 1916 és destinat al Regiment de Manchester i va al front a principis de gener del 1917. Mesos més tard, va ser diagnosticat amb trastorn per estrès posttraumàtic i el van enviar a l’hospital psiquiàtric de Craiglockhart, a Edimburg. Allà va conèixer un altre poeta, Siegfried Sassoon, que el va introduir als cercles literaris anglesos i el va animar a continuar escrivint i a publicar els seus poemes. Però ja no va tenir temps de fer-ho. L’agost del 1918 va tornar al front de França i el 4 de novembre va morir mentre intentava travessar el canal del Sambre amb els seus homes.
