Link to WWI poetry context resources

Hi everyone,

here's a link to some of the letters that Owen posted to his mother. From this link, you can assess some of the other resources on the WWI war poets on the site.

As I have said, I will be lecturing and looking at some of Owen's poetry in class for the next two weeks. After this, we move on to Heart of Darkness. What we all need to do now (and mostly likely, we will during the third week tutorial) is to mentally place Owen's individual poems into categories according to thematic and stylistic features. This will allow easier recall for comparison between poems.

Also, what kind of thematic and stylistic similarities can you draw between Owen's poetry and Murder in the Cathedral?
