POEMS BY WILFRED EDWARD SALTER OWEN (d. 1918); circ. 1911-1918
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph. The poems are written on loose sheets of paper, of varying size and shape, and many of them appear in several alternative drafts, without indication as to which Owen regarded as the final version. Twentythree of them were printed, mainly from this source, by Siegfried Sassoon, Poems of Wilfred Owen, 1920, and again, with thirty-six further poems and some notes and fragments, drawn partly from here and partly from elsewhere, by Edmund Blunden, The Poems of Wilfred Owen, 1931. Cf. also Friends of the National Libraries, Annual Report, 1933-1934, pp. 22-24 and pl. iv (reproducing 'Anthem for Dead Youth', 43721, f. 55), and Brit. Mus. Quart., ix, 1934-1935, pp. 19-20. The general state of Owen's literary remains is also discussed by D. S. R. Welland, 'Wilfred Owen's MSS.', Times Lit. Supp., 1956, pp. 368, 384. Paper. Two vols. Quarto. Presented by the Friends of the National Libraries with the help of various subscribers.
