FRAGMENTS OF PEACE & WAR BOOK II of A MONOGRAPH ON THE POETRY OF WILFRED OWEN AND SOME ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE: ESOTERICA & MYSTICA, GRAPHOLOGICA & DERIVA (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798621930165)

Previously published only as an e-book, this book, now revised and re-proofed, is the second in a series of five books which, as a whole, comprise a Monograph which explores the Poetry of Wilfred Owen in all its aspects. Evolving out of Book I of this Monograph, this Book II explores derivations - together with the esoteric and mystical connections which the Art of Poetry so often implies; particularly, in Owen's case, bearing in mind the almost 'druidic' aspects within Wilfred Owen's personality. So it is that we are faced with an ever-changing artistic landscape; and are concerned with the pursuit of revelation as to poetic meaning and purpose. The surviving manuscripts, minutely examined, are considered in forensic detail - particularly those which survive in respect of the Poem, 'Strange Meeting', which, in the modern era, we have only in an unfinished and, indeed, truncated state.The Author ROBERT CHRISTOFORIDES, was born in London in 1942. He was educated at the Abbey School, near East Grinstead, Sussex, Westminster School and the Law Society's College of Law. He qualified as a solicitor in 1965 and remained in practice until semi-retirement is 2010.In 1992, he decided to take a serious interest in Wilfred Owen. He studied the mass of fragments left at the Poet's death and, as a result, was able to complete a Monologue, 'Fragments of Peace & War', which includes compilations of about 80 'new' Poems, previously unseen in any completed form, thus 'resurrected' into reading/performing versions - most importantly of all, the 'completion' of 'STRANGE MEETING'.
