WILFRED OWEN’S LETTERS HOME | Autobiography & Poetry | World War One Poetry | Literature Analysis

What do Wilfred Owen’s letters home reveal about his poetry? Is Wilfred Owen's poetry autobiographical? What did Wilfred Owen consider his role, as a war poet in the First World War, to be? Analysis of Wilfred Owen’s letters home from the Western Front to his mother Susan Owen, examining some autobiographical elements within Wilfred Owen’s poetry. I analyse extracts from Wilfred Owen’s letters & provide a quick biography (of Wilfred Owen’s military career & the publication of his poems), in order to consider how autobiographical elements of Wilfred Owen’s experiences of war, fighting in the trenches in World War One, manifest in his poetry.
