	Sassoon, Owen
		Sassoon spent his childhood at the family home in Weirleigh, in the protected and somewhat rarefied atmosphere of a family near the center of the late Victorian and Edwardian literary and artistic world.
		He was the first of the younger Georgian poets to react violently against sentimentally patriotic notions of the glories of war; these poems have an extraordinary vigor--a stridency of tone, in fact--expressing with unconcealed irony and in colloquial terms a passionate hatred of the horrors of war.
		Sassoon's poems of the 1920s--represented in Satirical Poems (1926 and 1933) and in The Road to Ruin (1933--although they set out to satirize the corruptions and the pretensions of a disintegrating and confused materialistic society, were more controlled, artificial, less intense--and vastly less effective than the war poems.

		Sassoon's "Litany of the Lost" employed resonant religious imagery as a counterpoint to the post-war pessimism and alienation engendered by the descent from world war to Cold War.
		During his first Lent as a Catholic, Sassoon wrote "Lenten Illuminations," a candid account of his conversion which invites obvious comparisons with T.S. Eliot's "Ash Wednesday." The last decade of his life, like the last decades of the Rosary he came to love, was a quiet meditation on the glorious mysteries of faith.

	Siegfried Sassoon - Poetry Archive
		Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was born into a wealthy Anglo-Jewish family and his early life was comfortable and leisured, dominated by sports and country pursuits.
		Although Sassoon's later poetry is accomplished and sometimes very powerful, it's for the sting of his war poems that he is best remembered.
		Initially reluctant to be recorded, Sassoon eventually allowed "the infernal machine" (as he called it) to tape him reading from his original notebooks some of the most famous war poems of our time.

	Kagarlitsky Sassoon
		In Sassoon's opinion, European socialism has been in a profound crisis and unable to achieve its original goal: the creation of a new society qualitatively different from bourgeois society.
		Describing the achievements of the 'new realists', Sassoon enumerates chiefly the withdrawn slogans, the discarded promises and rejected principles.
		Sassoon is convinced that today these disputes are pointless and that an answer has been found: socialism must improve capitalism.

		I could not be expected then to understand that it was Sassoon's besetting trait to repent of any gesture almost as soon as he had made it, to start wanting to extricate himself from any love affair or other allegiance the moment he had embarked on it.
		But this was Sassoon's normal way of talking (his poetry readings at the height of his fame had often been more or less inaudible), and it was no obstacle to a formidable eloquence when he got going.
		But it was Sassoon's own inclination to look back to lost worlds and the happy days of his youth that kept him so stubbornly hostile to TS Eliot and to Modernism in general.

	'Siegfried Sassoon: A Life,' by Max Egremont - The New York Times Book Review - New York Times
		Sassoon himself spent much of the last half of his life writing three heavily autobiographical quasi-novels and three volumes of memoirs, the most famous of which, "Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man," is the foundation of his literary reputation today.
		Sassoon continued to write: three volumes of a fictionalized autobiography that were published together in 1937, and then three volumes of memoirs that culminated with "Siegfried's Journey" in 1945.
		Egremont follows Sassoon through an unhappy love affair in the late 1920's with Stephen Tennant, a vain young man with long eyelashes and pomaded hands, to unhappy married life in a house with 11 servants, and ultimately to his conversion, in 1957, to Roman Catholicism.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Review: Siegfried Sassoon by Max Egremont
		The story ought to be upsetting because of the war and its cruelties, which Sassoon famously castigated in his poems, and the pacifist statement he issued "as an act of wilful defiance of military authority".
		Sassoon made unerringly bad choices in love ("the Boy" Tennant, with his painted face and his sulks, is especially unlikable), he raged futilely against modernism, he was generous with his money but only rarely showed much interest in other people.
		On his father's side, Sassoon was descended from a rich Sephardim family, on his mother's from the English-English Thornycrofts (shires, with a good dose of the arts thrown in).

		This seems to have cooled Sassoon's ardour for revenge, and his efforts in saving the dead and wounded of his platoon after a raid that was conducted soon after his return from Army School, earned him the Military Cross.
		Sassoon's writing seems to have become more despairing, more stark, as his experience of the war progressed, and it is clear that this and his mistrust of the management of the war was growing.
		Sassoon's subsequent life shows a marked contrast to the prewar "sporting gentleman." He became literary editor of the socialist "Daily Herald," where he developed the work of Edmund Blunden, met and befriended Thomas Hardy and undertook a speaking tour of the United States.

	Siegfried Sassoon
		Sassoon's artistic life after World War I was a retreating and a turning inward, as his years as autobiographer attest to.
		Clearly, in one sense Sassoon was writing not only to inform a new generation of what he and his had endured, but also for himself, plumbing the depths and fundaments of memory and flexing the muscles of prose writing.
		Sassoon's reaction was by no means unique, however, and almost a century later the soldier-poets who were critical of that war have become for many people more convincing than the official historians.

	[No title]
		Sassoon participated in the Second Battle of the Scarpe where he was wounded in the shoulder.
		Fortunately for Sassoon, his friend and fellow Welch Fusilier Robert Graves, intervened with the authorities and managed to persuade them to have Sassoon medically boarded (or referred), with the result that in July 1917 he was sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital, Edinburgh officially suffering from shell-shock.
		Sassoon himself wrote a good deal of poetry whilst at Craiglockhart and the material he wrote at that time later appeared in Counter-Attack and Other Poems.

		The 76-year-old Sassoon, who says he has never sued anyone, was livid in a telephone interview late Tuesday.
		His key gripe is that PandG used the Sassoon name for entrée into the upscale hair care business, then essentially abandoned it — except in Asia, where it's still a huge draw — to avoid royalties.
		Although Sassoon is believed to be a near-$200-million-a-year brand in Asia, U.S. sales last year were a fraction of that.

		When Sassoon showed Graves the poem "Disabled," Graves pronounced Owen "a find." At Craiglockhart, Owen and Sassoon became friends, and the older Sassoon had considerable effect on Owen as the two compared and edited each others' poetry (Sassoon also introduced Owen to his publishing connections).
		Sassoon went before a medical board and convinced them that he was quite "cured" and ready to return to the Front.
		Sassoon's satiric poetry influenced, among others, Wilfred Owen (with whom he was a patient at Craiglockhart Hospital where the two were convalescing).
