In this perceptive and original study of one of the most popular of
English poets, Douglas Kerr has written the life of Wilfred Owen's
language. The book explores the meaning in Owen's life of the
family, the Church, the army, and English poets of the past. It
examines the language of these four communities, and shows how
their discourses helped to mould the poet's own. The language in
which Owen's extraordinary poems and letters are written was
learned in and from these communities which shaped his short
career. But there were times too when he hated each of them. As
Douglas Kerr shows, much of the power of Owen's writing derives
from his desire to transform the communities which formed him.
Accessible and lucid, and informed by the insights of recent
theory, Wilfred Owen's Voices throws important new light on the
best-known of the English war poets, and on both the cultural
history and intense personal drama to be read in his work.
