Title: The war poems of Wilfred Owen
Description: 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 represent his most important contribution to poetry in the twentieth century. Taken from the definitive edition of Owen's work, and containing material unavailable to other editions, this selection has been edited by Professor Jon Stallworthy, who was written an illuminating and authoritative introduction.
