Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)
-
Worked as an English teacher in France before enlisting in the military in 1915 after witnessing the wounded in a hospital
-
Known for his technical innovations in poetry, including ‘para-rhymes’ and extensive use of assonance and alliteration, giving his lines a haunting quality and moral force suitable for portraying suffering and death
His poems provide accurate and painful accounts of gas casualties, mental trauma, and physical destruction experienced by soldiers
Owen's preface to "Disabled and Other Poems" (1918) emphasizes the pity of war and the role of poetry in conveying its truths rather than glorifying it
"Dulce et Decorum Est" is one of Owen's most famous poems, depicting the grim realities of trench warfare and gas attacks, aiming to dismantle patriotic propaganda and reveal the true horrors of war through personal experiences and evidence-based writing.
