Description
Best known for his historical novels I, Claudius and Claudius the God, Robert Graves was recognized as one of the better Edwardian and First World War poets, although, for a time, his work was somewhat sidelined by the modernists. His autobiography Good-Bye to All That is one of the landmark memoirs of the war in the trenches on the Western Front. By the time of his death, Graves was internationally famous, seen as one of the twentieth century’s best poets whose prose works were sold all over the world. This first single-volume biography in over a decade will shed new light on this intriguing and eccentric life.
