Title: Where can I find resources for Wilfred Owen's war poems/Member of the Wedding?
Post by: #J.Procrastinator on November 15, 2013, 09:51:33 pm

Hi there!

So does anyone know any good resources to help with War Poems of Wilfred Owen and for The Member of the Wedding? Like the Insight or Neap study guides?

Thanks !

I wrote on this text this year actually. 

Use the youtube channels (by Polly Dunning I think her name is) to get you started. If you just enter the name of the poem you want to analyse in youtube, followed by 'analysis', it should get you somewhere.

However, keep in mind that these analyses are superficial. They identify the intricate grammar/metalanguage/punctuation points, but you'll need to come up with the bigger themes by yourself. For example, 'corruption' is a possible theme in Owen's poetry.
