Navigation Page Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born in Oswestry on March 18, 1893, the eldest of four children. Despite Owen's longing to go to public school and Oxford, he was educated at Birkenhead Institute and then the Technical School in Shrewsbury, owing to his family's lack of money to pay for a public school education. By the time he left school Owen was writing verse and dreaming of becoming a poet. At this time he was going through a period of devotion to Keats, although he thought Shelley a greater genius, and was also influenced by other nineteenth-century writers. Owen was also influenced by Ruskin's remark that a poet should know about the world as a whole; plants and stones, as well as people, which is reflected in Owen's interest in botany, geology and astronomy. He shared with his mother a simple evangelical faith, and developed a sense of mission which eventually found expression in his preaching against the war. Since University fees were out of the question Owen had to try for a scholarship. After a brief period as a pupil-teacher in 1911, Owen became an unpaid assistant to the vicar of Dunsden, near Reading, in return for tuition. He found the "Silence, the State, and the Stiffness" of life in the vicarage hard, and poetry became increasingly valuable to him. His first cousin, Leslie Gunston, lived nearby and he became Owen's literary confidant and his closest friend until 1917. They took to writing poems in competition with each other.

Wilfred Owen ), English poet. Owen is arguably the most famous English war poet. Born at Oswestry in Shropshire , he was well-educated, and worked as a teacher in France prior to the outbreak of the World War I . In 1915, he enlisted in the Artists' Rifles, but, after some traumatic experiences, was diagnosed as suffering from shell shock and sent to Craiglockhart Military Hospital in Edinburgh for treatment. There he met another poet, Siegfried Sassoon , who encouraged him and helped with stylistic problems, the result being that Owen's poetry would eventually be more widely acclaimed than that of his mentor. In 1918, after a period of recuperation, Owen returned to active service in France. By a supreme irony, he was killed during the crossing of the Sambre-Oise Canal, only a week before the end of the war. His mother received the telegram informing her of his death on Armistice Day.

Spartacus Home Main Menu Section Menu FWW Links ... Schoolnet Wilfred Owen In 1914 the First World War broke out on a largely innocent world, a world that still associated warfare with glorious cavalry charges and the noble pursuit of heroic ideals. This was the world's first experience of modern mechanised warfare. As the months and years passed, each bringing increasing slaughter and misery, the soldiers became increasingly disillusioned. Many of the strongest protests made against the war were made through the medium of poetry by young men horrified by what they saw. One of these poets was Wilfred Owen. Wilfred Owen was 21 when the war broke out. Although he had failed to win a scholarship to university, he was very intelligent and cultured, and in the two years before the war began, had taken a post at the Berlitz School in Bordeaux, France, tutoring the children of wealthy families and learning the language and literature of the country. Wilfred Owen Owen was not horrified or elated by the outbreak of war, although during 1914, he became more aware of the human sacrifice involved and was filled with confusion. Eventually he returned to England and on 21 October 1915, enlisted in the Artists' Rifles. He spent the next seven and a half months training in Essex and on the 4 June was commissioned into the Manchester Regiment, where he underwent further training before crossing to France on 29 December. In the second week of January, one of the worst in memory, he led his platoon into the Battle of the Somme. he wrote to his mother every week and described what he had been through: "Those fifty hours were the agony of my happy life... I nearly broke down and let myself drown in the water that was now rising slowly above my knees. In the Platoon on my left, the sentries over the dug-out were blown to nothing".

WILFRED OWEN greatest war poet in the English language WILFRED OWEN 1893 - 1918 On this page Introduction to Wilfred Owen Short biography of Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen, the shock of war The psychological journey of Wilfred Owen Pictures of the places where Owen fought, died, and his grave. Introduction to Wilfred Owen Few would challenge the claim that Wilfred Owen is the greatest writer of war poetry in the English language. He wrote out of his intense personal experience as a soldier and wrote with unrivalled power of the physical, moral and psychological trauma of the First World War. All of his great war poems on which his reputation rests were written in a mere fifteen months. From the age of nineteen Wilfred Owen wanted to become a poet and immersed himself in poetry, being especially impressed by Keats and Shelley. He was working in France, close to the Pyrenees, as a private tutor when the First World War broke out. At this time he was remote from the war and felt completely disconnected from it too. Even when he visited the local hospital with a doctor friend and examined, at close quarters, the nature of the wounds of soldiers who were arriving from the Western Front, the war still appeared to him as someone else's story. Eventually he began to feel guilty of his inactivity as he read copies of The Daily Mail which his mother sent him from England. He returned to England, and volunteered to fight on 21 October 1915. He trained in England for over a year and enjoyed the impression he made on people as he walked about in public wearing his soldier's uniform.
