Owing to
I came across this preposition meaning 'because of'. I have never seen it before. Is it common in modern English?

Yes, it's common. It is parallel with, and has the same meaning as, "due to." As is often the case, you should learn "owing to" as part of your passive vocabulary--you should know what it means when you see it--but there's no need to use it yourself; just use "due to."
