<br> One of the finest biographies of our time. --Graham Greene, Sunday Times<p><br> A worthy memorial to its subject. --Kingsley Amis, Observer<p><br> Jon Stallworthy leads us through the short life of Wilfred Owen with warmth, humanity, scholarliness and authority. A splendid production, its many photographs and copy manuscripts by the poet, often bearing his corrections, ensure our understanding. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, whether one is a student of poetry or just generally interested in the Great War. --Fred Wood, Stand To! Journal of the Western Front Association<p><br>
