Description
Wilfred Owen: A Fresh Account of His Life and Poetry. Guy Cuthbertson's biography offers a new perspective on the life of one of Britain's most beloved poets, Wilfred Owen. Born in 1893, Owen's early life was marked by a desire to escape his lower-middle-class upbringing, but it was this very background that shaped his poetry. This book chronicles Owen's growth into poetic maturity, illuminating the social context of the Edwardian era and adding depth to our understanding of his enduring verse. Cuthbertson explores Owen's relationships, including those with his mother and friends, as well as his struggles with class anxiety and religious doubt. Through a nuanced examination of Owen's life, Cuthbertson sheds light on the poet's formative influences and how they informed his work. By examining the social strata of the time and Owen's personal experiences, this biography provides a rich context for understanding the poet's remarkable legacy.
