The White Goddess: A Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth

Editura: FARRAR STRAUS & GIROUX

Anul aparitiei: 2013

The definitive edition of one of the more extraordinary and influential books of our time This labyrinthine and extraordinary book, first published more than sixty years ago, was the outcome of Robert Graves's vast reading and curious research into strange territories of folklore, mythology, religion, and magic. Erudite and impassioned, it is a scholar-poet's quest for the meaning of European myths, a polemic about the relations between man and woman, and also an intensely personal document in which Graves explores the sources of his own inspiration and, as he believed, all true poetry. Incorporating all of Graves's final revisions, his replies to two of the original reviewers, and an essay describing the months of illumination in which The White Goddess was written, this is the definitive edition of one of the most influential books of our time.

ROBERT GRAVES'S verses have a quality which renders them memorable. Though in many ways they conform to the new fashions of literary attack, soon to grow old and conventional, they have a touch of true originality, both in the style and in the thoughts underlying the style. Mr. Graves is one of those lucky men who are able to see and describe things with a difference. His poems have all the faults of youth, but they have also a great many of its virtues.

Anul aparitiei: 2014

This brief book, which includes the text of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," analyzes the narrative progression of the poem and its relationship to the Christian symbols and allusions that Coleridge uses and suggests a connection between them and a statement about the prophetic role of the poet in society. This book illustrates why the Bible as literature must be taught to students if they are to understand classic English literature.

Robert Graves was with Siegfried Sassoon when Sassoon threw his medal for bravery into the River Mersey in Liverpool to begin his protest at the tactics of the British Army in the First World War. Graves's own reputation as a war poet has waned, but at his best he matches the gruesomeness of Owen and the bitter sarcasm of Sassoon, while adding his own brand of mordant and sardonic wit. This book will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the poetic response to the First World War. Check out our other books at www.dogstailbooks.co.uk
