| Richard Field will consider the friendship between Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Inextricably linked through shared experiences, though from very different backgrounds, their meeting at Craiglockhart Hospital in August 1917 had a profound effect on both men. When Owen was killed just over a year later he had published only five poems. Sassoon became his champion and brought out the first edition of Owen’s poetry in 1920. Richard Field lectures nationally on literature and the arts. He taught English at Shrewsbury School for over 30 years. |
