Wilfred Owen A Century Ago

Wilfred Owen is the quintessential war poet. He grew up in Oswestry, Birkenhead and Shrewsbury but in 1914 he was living in France. This talk will look at Wilfred Owen's life in Bordeaux 100 years ago, before looking at the arrival of the war in the summer of 1914 and Owen's decision to enlist in 1915. The talk will consider his responses to the war and his reasons for choosing to fight. This free talk by Guy Cuthbertson, Liverpool Hope University, will be followed by a poetry reading. Q and A also included.
