Synopsis

The fourth title published as part of the "Robert Graves Programme". This text is the first of a three-volume collection of Graves's poems. It restores hundreds of poems that Graves omitted from the canon or overlooked in his continual refinements. It may lead to a revaluation of his entire poetic oeuvre. Other titles in the series are "The Centenary Selected Poems", edited by Patrick Quinn and "Collected Writings on Poetry", edited by Paul O'Prey.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Graves described poetry as his ruling passion, and for him love was 'the main theme and origin of true poems'. He created a rich mythology where love, fear, fantasy and the supernatural play an essential role. Intimate yet universal, passionate yet precise, their brilliant alchemy of realism and magic made Graves's poems some of the finest of the last century. In this edition the poems appear without critical apparatus or commentary. The volume represents in its purest form the achievement of Graves's seventy productive years.

Biographie de l'auteur

Robert Graves was born in 1895 in Wimbledon. He went from school to the First World War, where he became a captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and was seriously wounded at the Battle of the Somme. He wrote his autobiography, Goodbye to All That, in 1929, and it was soon established as a modern classic. He died on 7 December 1985 in Majorca, his home since 1929.
