jessie pope and wilfred owen relationship

Pope's work is mainly found in WW1 poetry anthologies

The ‘Great War’ occurred from June 1914 to November 1918 and saw millions of lives lost.The time before was the building of empires between the main countries: Britain, Germany and France.

From there it was a short step to comparison essays with Owen and Sassoon. "Speaking as a former teacher, I think her status as a well-studied poet owes almost everything to Wilfred Owen, who was revolted by her attitude and lack of insight into the experience of soldiers in the trenches," he says. Pope was a poetess who wrote jingoistic poetry in WW1 that encouraged - even pressured - men to volunteer.

Owen describes the gruesome effects the gas has on a man.

If the ageing civilian painter John Singer Sargent, in his famous commemorative painting Sassoon, on reading the manuscript, put a question mark beside ‘ecstasy’ but Owen, gaining in confidence, seems to have ignored this demurral.

The Latin phrase can also be changed and rearranged to make sense and mean exactly same like war itself.

Pope’s poetry appears to take a carefree approach, however, is in fact very brutal when compared to Owen…

When showing the covering of the palls, he uses the line: “The pallor of girls brows shall be their pall” This shows that the daughters of the soldiers, are covering there eyes in despair, waiting for there fathers to return home from the war.And continues this when describing the giving of the flowers by using the lines, “Their flowers the Tenderness of patient minds” this show the children are waiting and patiently waiting for there fathers to return home. Mustard gas corrodes the body from within. A striking piece of war realism, the poem also tunnels into his private medical history. She uses slang and the theme Sport to do this.

A Victorian funeral is split up into different groups, and each stage occurs in this order: The ringing of the bells, the saying of prayers, the sound of the choir, the lighting of the candles, the covering of the palls, the giving of the flowers and the drawing down of the blinds. "There's not very much there. This article undertakes a close comparative reading of the work of two key World War I English poets: Jessie Pope, a then immensely popular Home Front poet–journalist and staunch supporter of the Allied war effort; and Wilfred Owen, a soldier–poet whose verse would evolve from its Romantic-Georgian and pastoral roots to yield some of the most scathing indictments of the war. The way he expresses the saying of prayers, is by using the lines, “No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells”. One of Pope’s poems imagines the qualities of an ideal male suitor, and demands that: Who buys her an engagement ring, And finds her kind and kissing, Must have one member in a sling Or, preferably, missing. It has huge potential of growing especially in untapped South-East Asia regions with huge potentials for export as well, around the world.
