His war poems have kept their originality and force through the last forty years: the best of them were unequalled by any of that remarkable band of fellow-poets who fought on the Western Front, and they promised still greater things to come. ***This definitive edition of Owen's poetry, which is based on a close study of the MS. sources in the British Museum and elsewhere, contains a selection of the poet's juvenilia and several other unpublished poems, as well as all those which have appeared in the previous editions edited by Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Blunden. The editor supplies an "apparatus criticus", giving variants made by Owen himself, and indicating where his text differs from that of the previous editors. He has also contributed a long Introduction, in which he discusses Owen's poetry and early life, making use of the poet's unpublished letters to his family. Edmund Blunden's Memoir, dealing with the war period, is reprinted as an appendix, and there are reproductions of four drafts of 'Anthem for Doomed Youth.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper of the 1963 hardback edition] ***A paperback reprint of the first UK paperback edition, published by Chatto & Windus.
