Books, Manuscripts
Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, both suffering from shell shock, were sent to convalesce at Craicklockart hospital in Edinburgh in 1917. Owen, who referred to himself as the 'poet's poet' was unpublished at the time. It's the influence and encouragement of Sassoon during this period that shaped Owen's work. Sassoon was also instrumental in publishing Owen's work posthumously after the war. Here are the poems, written in Edinburgh, of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. They highlight the significance of the time these poets spent together in and around the city.
