Biography of Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)

Siegfried Sassoon is often represented as the voice of anger, bitterness and betrayal in First World War poetry. While this reputation is entirely deserved, one should not overlook the profound depth and beauty in many of his poems. A complex character, Sassoon was a courageous and decorated officer, who witnessed the suffering of the men in the trenches and felt that he could no longer continue to be a silent participant. His poetry demonstrates this sense of anger and frustration. Our comprehensive biography details Sassoon's life before, during and after the First World War and includes an overview of his work and how his experiences changed the content and style of his poetry.
