  • The Poet's Corpus WILFRED OWEN WAS AN
    CHARLES HUNTER JOPLIN The Poet’s Corpus Meter, Memory, and Monumentality in Wilfred Owen’s “The Show” The treatment worked: to use one of his favorite metaphors, [Owen] looked into the eyes of the Gorgon and was not turned to stone. In due course the nightmares that might have destroyed him were objectified into poetry. —Dominic Hibberd, Wilfred Owen: A New Biography WILFRED OWEN WAS AN ENGLISH POET who wrote his best work during the autumn of 1917 while recovering from shell shock in Craiglockhart War Hospital for Neurasthenic Officers. Although a few of his poems were published during his short lifetime, Owen died on November 8, 1918 in the Sambre-Oise Canal, before he could publish his book of war poetry. Owen’s body of work was collected by his mother and seven of those poems were edited by Edith Sitwell and published in a special edition of the avant-garde art magazine Wheels: 1919, which was dedicated to the memory of “Wilfred Owen, M.C.” (Stallworthy 81; v.). Following the Wheels edition, Owen’s war poetry spread slowly throughout the Western world. His work appeared in two separate collections in 1920 and 1931, saw widespread circulation during World War II, formed the basis for Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem in 1962, circulated in two more collections in 1963 and 1983, and rose to become a staple of twentieth century poetry anthologies (Stallworthy 81). Although there are other “trench poets” who achieved notoriety after the war’s end, the gradual canonization of Owen’s corpus has entrenched his life and works as a literary monument to our prevailing myths, feelings, and narratives of the First World War.1 Owen’s monumental status in English literature is appropriate because, during his time as a war poet, he carried a monumental mission.

The 23 place plan areas are based on Lower Level Super Output Areas (LLSOAs) but may have been assigned to a Place Plan Area because it had the largest population where LLSOAs cross geographical boundaries. GP Practices were assigned to place plan areas according to their post code linked to Lower LLSOAs; disease prevalence (%) was calculated on place plan populations. The following maps show the QOF prevalence of disease based as a percentage of the place plan area population 2015i with red indicating a significantly higher prevalence to the Shropshire average, green significantly lower and yellow similar to the Shropshire average.
