Poems (Wilfred Owen)
''Poems'' was a quarto volume of poetry by Wilfred Owen published posthumously by Chatto and Windus in 1920. Owen had been killed on 4 November 1918. It has been described as "perhaps the finest volume of anti-war poetry to emerge from the War". The published volume included a sepia-toned photograph of the author in military uniform. It was edited by Owen's friend Siegfried Sassoon, with assistance from Edith Sitwell. Sassoon also wrote an introduction, including the words "The poems printed in this book need no preliminary introduction … All that was strongest in Wilfred Owen survives in his poems". The preface was found, in an unfinished condition, among Wilfred Owen's papers. The slim book was sold for six shillings. It included 23 poems, including some of his most famous work, such as including "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Dulce et Decorum Est". Only five of his poems had been published before his death, three in ''The Nation and Athenaeum, The Nation'', and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Futility (poem)
"Futility" is a poem written by Wilfred Owen, one of the most renowned poets of World War I. The poem was written in May 1918 and published as no. 153 in ''The Complete Poems and Fragments''. The poem is well known for its departure from Owen's famous style of including disturbing and graphic images in his work; the poem instead has a more soothing, somewhat light-hearted feel to it in comparison. A previous secretary of the Wilfred Owen Association argues that the bitterness in Owen's other poems "gives place to the pity that characterises his finest work". Futility details an event where a group of soldiers attempts to revive an unconscious soldier by moving him into the warm sunlight on a snowy meadow. However, the "kind old sun" cannot help the soldier - he has died. The titular theme of the poem is claimed to be common to many World War I and World War II war poets and to apply not only to war, but human institutions (including religion) and human existence itself.

The Chances (poem)
''The Chances'' is a Jacobean era stage play, a comedy written by John Fletcher. It was one of Fletcher's great popular successes, "frequently performed and reprinted in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries." The play's Prologue assigns the play to Fletcher alone; since his distinctive pattern of stylistic and textual features is continuous through the play, scholars and critics regard Fletcher's sole authorship as clear and unambiguous. Source and date For the plot of his play, Fletcher depended upon Miguel de Cervantes, one of his regular sources; ''The Chances'' borrows from ''La Señora Cornelia'', one of the ''Novelas ejemplares'', first published in Spain in 1613 and translated into French in 1615. (Fletcher exploited another of the ''Novelas'' for his ''Love's Pilgrimage''.) The play must have originated between this period (scholars dispute Fletcher's knowledge of Spanish) and the dramatist's death in 1625. Current scholarship assigns the play to 1617 (it refers t ...
