   Extractions: Robert Graves (1895-1985) English poet, classical scholar, novelist, and critic who produced some 140 books. Robert Graves is perhaps best known for the historical novel I, CLAUDIUS (1934), with its sequel CLAUDIUS THE GOD (1943). In his controversial study THE WHITE GODDESS (1948) Graves rejects the patriarchal gods as sources of inspiration in favour of matriarchal powers of love and destructiveness. The Muse, or Moon-goddess, inspires poetry of a magical quality, in contrast to rational, classical verse. "Philosophy is antipoetic. Phisosophize about mankind and you brush aside individual uniqueness, which a poet cannot do without self-damage. Unless, for a start, he has a strong personal rhythm to vary his metrics, he is nothing. Poets mistrust philosophy. They know that once the heads are counted, each owner of a head loses his personal identify and becomes a number in some government scheme: if not as a slave or serf, at least as a party to the device of majority voting, which smothers personal views." (from 'The Case for Xanthippe', in

Countries involved in the First World War - Introduction From Robert Wilde Robert Graves was born into a dynasty of true European heritage, for within his family tree were English, German, Scottish, Danish and Irish nationals. Despite this, the Graves were a typical British Victorian family of the upper-middle classes: strict and somewhat cold, but also loyal and well-educated. Biographies often stress the literary history of Robert's ancestors, for his great uncle - Leopold von Ranke - was a highly accomplished historian, while an eighteen century relative - Richard Graves - wrote The Spiritual Quixote, a novel successful within its era. Robert's father kept this 'tradition' alive by writing poetry.

Reply to questionnaire, “The Cost of Letters,” Horizon (London), September 1946. I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them, travel abroad, experience the horror of sordid passion and — if he is lucky enough — know the love of an honest woman.

    Extractions: AND HIS CIRCLE Robert Graves first visited Oxford in 1913 as an eighteen-year-old schoolboy trying for a Classical Scholarship or Exhibition - he was awarded an Exhibition by St. John's - and he last visited Oxford in the summer of 1975 as an old man of 80 for the official opening of a 'Robert Graves room' at his old College. In between times, he had spent part of 1917 in a military hospital in Somerville College; gone up to St. John's immediately after the First World War to read first Classics and then English; and returned in 1961 for a five-year stint as Professor of Poetry. This lecture is a fascinating miscellany of incidents, which also serves as an idiosyncratic introduction to Robert Graves's life and work.

    Extractions: Navigation Page Robert Graves Robert Graves Robert von Ranke Graves was born in Wimbledon on July 24, 1895, the middle child of his father's second family of five. Graves's father already had five children from his marriage to his first wife (who had died of consumption (TB) in 1886). Graves began to write poetry while still at Charterhouse School. He was encouraged in this by one of his master's at Charterhouse, the mountaineer, George Mallory, and also by Edward Marsh (who also encouraged Siegfried Sassoon ). When war broke out, Graves joined the Royal Welch Fusiliers. He got to know Siegfried Sassoon while serving out in France. The two became firm friends and spent hours discussing poetry and what they would do after the War. Graves had written some realistic poetry about the War, which he showed to Sassoon early in their friendship. At that point Sassoon was still writing chivalric war poetry and he disapproved of the realism of Graves's war poetry, rather ironically in light of the fact that Graves was later to bemoan the gloominess of Sassoon's and Owen's poetry. Whilst serving in France Graves was badly wounded and mistakenly reported dead. Sassoon was very upset and wrote a poem about the loss of his friend

    Extractions: by Gore Vidal A little effete and even degenerate (but then I am a typical "20th century North American" in his eyes, I guess), Gore Vidal is an essayist of the highest rank, in my opinion. Below is an example of Vidal at his best - especially towards the end of his essay when he speaks of the ubiquitous tyranny of the post-WWII world. "Most of the world today is governed by Caesars. Men and more and more treated as things. Torture is ubiquitous. And, as Sartre wrote in his preface to Henri Alleg's chilling book about Algeria, 'Anyone, at any time, may equally find himself victim or executioner.' Suetonius, in holding up a mirror to those Caesars of diverting legend, reflects not only them but ourselves: half-tempted creatures, whose great moral task it is to hold in balance the angel and the monster within - for we are both, and to ignore this duality is to invite disaster."
