Wilfred Owen

Hibberd, Dominic

Biographies & Memoirs

London: Constable

No one did more than Monro (1879-1932) for the development of 20th-century poetry, says Hibberd, but his reward has been near oblivion. He presents a biography of the London poet, publisher, and book seller, who published a manifesto, Before Dawn , in 1911 that advocated sexual fulfillment, personal and artistic freedom, and a wonderful future shaped by poets.

Poetry of the Great War: An Anthology

Owen the Poet (Studies in 20th Century Literature)

Literature & Fiction

History & Criticism

The Great War was the first in British history to involve virtually the entire population of Britain. A vast quantity of poems, fiction, essays, speeches, letters, memoirs and other written material was produced during 1914 and 1918 and Dominic Hibberd chooses both famous passages and excerpts which have never before been reprinted from both the imaginative poetry and prose of the period and documents such as newspapers and politicians' speeches. The linking commentary illuminates the very close relationship between the literature and history of this time, which is further highlighted by the chronological table plates section and further reading sections.

The definitive biography of the war poet - 'Dominic Hibberd has probably done more more than any other individual to illuminate Owen's life and work. His new Life is a triumph ... it is difficult to believe it will ever be superseded' Mark Bostridge, The Independent on Sunday
When Wilfred Owen died in 1918 aged 25, only five of his poems had been published. Yet he became one of the most popular poets of the 20th century. For decades his public image was controlled by family and friends, especially his brother Harold who was terrified anyone might think Wilfred was gay. In recent years much new material has become available. This book, based on over thirty years of wide-ranging research, brings new information to almost every part of Owen's life. Owen emerges as a complex, fascinating and often endearing character with an intense delight in being alive.

Phoenix

In this first full critical study of Owen for 25 years, and the first ever to be based on research into all his surviving papers and books, Dominic Hibberd discusses the significance for his poetry of many scarcely known elements in his life: his battle with Revivalism; his discovery of the French Decadence; his alleged cowardice; his shellshock and its treatment; his homosexuality and his friendship with Oscar Wilde's followers. This is likely to be the most authoritative book on its subject for many years to come.

Owen the Poet

University of Georgia Press

Mr. Hibberd's new biography of the Great War's greatest poet, based on more than thirty years of wide-ranging research, brings new information and reinterpretation to virtually every phase of Owen's life―carefully guarded by family and friends after his death. Although Dominic Hibberd modestly says that his book 'is not, of course, definitive,' it is hard to see how it could be improved upon. ―Times Literary Supplement
