Autor

Robert Graves was an English poet, novelist, and critic, born on July 24, 1895, in Wimbledon, and he passed away on December 7, 1985, in Deià, Majorca, Spain. Graves' literary career spanned over more than half a century during which he authored over 140 books, extending across a myriad of genres including poetry, fiction, and mythology. Perhaps best known for his historical novels, notably 'I, Claudius' (1934), which was later adapted into a successful television series, Graves was also a celebrated poet whose work was characterized by its clarity, precision, and a deep engagement with mythology and history. His autobiography, 'Good-bye to All That' (1929), is acclaimed for its vivid portrayal of his experiences in the trenches during World War I, and remains a landmark memoir of the era. 'The White Goddess' (1948), is another significant work wherein Graves articulated his theory of poetic inspiration, drawing extensively on mythological sources. While 'The Pier-Glass' may not be as well-known as his seminal works, it still reflects Graves' mastery in handling verse and his ability to imbue it with his deep-seated themes and intricate knowledge of the past. A scholar of classics, Graves translated many ancient texts, and his literary criticism often explored the mythological underpinnings of poetry. Whether in prose or verse, Robert Graves' work continues to intrigue and influence, his unique voice a testament to his enduring significance in the canon of English literature.
