Description
Wilfred Owen's life was marked by tragedy and untimely death, yet his poetry has endured as one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. This biography, the result of over thirty years of research, sheds new light on Owen's complex and fascinating character.
For decades, Owen's public image was controlled by those close to him, particularly his brother Harold, who sought to protect his reputation from speculation about his personal life. However, recent discoveries have revealed a more nuanced picture of the poet, one that challenges our understanding of his life and work.
Through extensive research, Dominic Hibberd brings Owen's story to life, revealing a man of intense passion and creativity who was deeply alive, even in the midst of war and loss. This biography is a triumph, offering a fresh perspective on a poet whose legacy continues to appeal to readers today.
