Richard III
The William Shakespeare Experience
Interesting blogs to compare with your own views and reflect on new perspectives
Wilfred Owen
The Wilfred Owen Society
Regeneration Film Online
Most of an adaptation of Pat Barker's prize-winning novel (the first in a trilogy -- read it!) centred on how a young man is shaped by his experiences of WWI and its aftermath. Siegrfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen feature heavily. WARNING: don't watch with your nana - some graphic stuff here.
Blackadder Goes Forth Online
Awesomely biting comedy which somehow manages to capture the pity of war more sharply than many of the OTT 'war is hell' films.
If nothing else, watch the last episode. If you've watched all the episodes, it'll hit you hard.
World War One Context
Context on WWI in easy to read chunks
Bizarre as it sounds, this Downton Abbey site has some really useful stuff.
Scroll down past the Women in WWI bit to find Owen/AS relevant stuff:
