'Orpheus, the pagan saint of poets, went through hell and came back
singing. In twentieth-century mythology, the singer wears a steel
helmet and makes his descent "down some profound dull tunnel" in
the stinking mud of the Western Front. For most readers of English
poetry, the face under that helmet is that of Wilfred Owen.'
Professor Jon Stallworthy, from his Introduction. When Wilfred Owen
was killed in the days before the Armistice in 1918, he left behind
a shattering, truthful and indelible record of a soldier's
experience of the First World War. His greatest war poetry has been
collected, edited and introduced here by Professor Jon Stallworthy.
This special edition is published to commemorate the end of the
hellish war that Owen, though the hard-won truth and terrible
beauty of his poetry, has taught us never to forget.
