Collected Poems of Wilfred Owen

"Day Lewis takes over from the momorable Blunden edition Blunden's splendid memoir of Owen with its tantalizing snippets from the letters of which we still await, more than forty years after the event, a complete edition. Having worked through all the available manuscript material, Day Lewis offers us what is most likely the definitive text....the purpose of his notes is not, as Day Lewis insists, to give a complete apparatus criticus, but one regrets that he saw fit to leave out of them the discarded readings of 'Strange Meeting' that Blunden prints....The Collected Poems usefully fills in for us, in its introduction, that part of Owen's biography on which Blunden is noticeably blank--the time between Owen's curacy of 1911 and his job as a tutor in France in 1913."Owen, Wilfred is the author of 'Collected Poems of Wilfred Owen', published 1965 under ISBN 9780811201322 and ISBN 0811201325.
