A1 Boylan, Geraldine M.
AB Wilfred Owen was of the opinion that the First World War wasprolonged by stirring the fires of patriotism through the use of propaganda.His feelings about this are mirrored constantly in many of hislater poems. This article presents a general picture of the state of propagandaand censorship in Britain during the First World War and leadsinto a study of some of Owen’s poems which reflect his rejection of thehypocritical attitudes of the politicians and clergy of the period. At thesame time, Owen’s attempts to counteract the public’s ignorance in suchmatters become obvious.
