Do you know facts about Wilfred Owen?

Answer 1

Wilfred Owen was born in Oswestry, England on March 18th, 1893. His family was middle class with one sister and two brothers. His mother was a deeply religious Calvinist who remained very close to Wilfred for most of his life. His father was an independent, impatient man who enjoyed reading and music. Both parents had a profound affect on Wilfred's life. As a child, he studied botany, Archaeology, and read a great deal. At the time of his death, over 325 volumes of poets such as Dante, Chaucer, Goethe, Cowper, Southey, Gray, Collins, Keats, Shelley, Coleridge, Burns, Browning, and Tennyson, were found in his own personal collection. Although he couldn't afford a University education, he studied at Shrewsbury Technical School until 1911, when he went to Dunsden, Oxfordshire, as a pupil and lay assistant to the vicar.

Wilfred Edward Salter Owen MC (18 March 1893 - 4 November 1918) was an English and Welsh poet and soldier, regarded by many as one of the leading poets of the First World War. His shocking, realistic war poetry on the horrors of trenches and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his friend Siegfried Sassoon and sat in stark contrast to both the public perception of war at the time, and to the confidently patriotic verse written earlier by war poets such as Rupert Brooke. Some of his best-known works-most of which were published posthumously-include "Dulce et Decorum Est", "Insensibility", "Anthem for Doomed Youth", "Futility" and "Strange Meeting". His preface intended for a book of poems to be published in 1919 contains numerous well-known phrases, especially "War, and the pity of War", and "the Poetry is in the pity".
