The Poetry Of Owen Seaman

More about the book

The biography details the life of Owen Seaman, an influential figure in British literature and satire. Educated at Shrewsbury School and Cambridge, he transitioned from a schoolmaster to a prominent editor of Punch magazine, where he became known for his parodies, including "Rhyme Of The Kipperling." Seaman's patriotism emerged during World War I, leading to the publication of his poetry collection "War Time." Despite not being regarded as a major poet, his contributions to parody and editorial work were significant. He was knighted in 1914 and became a baronet in 1933.
