Summary/Abstract: The paper entitled “A Stylistic-Cognitive Approach to Wilfred Owen’s Poems about the War” tackles the issue of WWI from a twofold cognitive and stylistic perspective. It was Owen’s preoccupation with rendering his war experience both in a realistic and artistic manner that has convinced us of the opportunity to approach his poetry from a stylistic perspective. On the other hand, Owen’s experience of the Front will be also cognitively approached by us, via Soja’s Thirdspace, precisely because the poet seems to be mostly concerned with a ”strategic awareness of this collectively created spatiality” – the Front and its socio and psycho-cognitive consequences.
