	Robert Graves Collection at Bartleby.com
		A versatile and highly prolific writer, Graves considered himself primarily a poet; his poems were characterized by gracefulness and lucidity.
		However, Graves was best known for his unorthodox novels of Roman history, I, Claudius (1934) and Claudius the God (1934), as well as fictionalized reappraisals of history and legend such as King Jesus (1946) and Homer’s Daughter (1955).—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
		Much of Grave’s poetry focuses on his experiences in World War I—as evidenced in this collection of forty-six poems.

	Robert Graves Trust, Society and Journal
		Graves absence suggests that he was afraid to admit that his father was an important reason for the early successes of his own career-and besides, it was highly unfashionable to be close to a father who was so clearly a relic of another era (Robert Graves and the White Goddess, 124-5).
		Graves, however would most like to have been best remembered as a poet and, indeed, for a time received numerous accolades that suggested that that might be the case.
		Graves' ideas on poetry are highly esoteric and critical schools that dominate academia at various times tend not to accept what may seem too individual and too indulgent for their otherwise doctrinate methodologies.

		Robert was, in short, given a splendid education in becoming a prig and delighted Amy in the process.

		Robert von Ranke Graves was born in Wimbledon on July 24, 1895, the middle child of his father's second family of five.
		Early in his career Graves wrote in complex experimental schemes, often derived from Welsh prosody; his poetry heavily depended on both nursery rhyme and ballad, and explored his feelings of guilt on lines heavily influenced by Freud (as is made clear in his critical study Poetic Unreason).
		Graves began, at this point, to distrust everything that had been imposed upon him by convention, and to defend some aspects of modernism.

		Graves does present a great deal of material, and generally he does present lively versions of the Greek myths, but you have to remember that these books have to be used with great caution.
		Graves' immediate failure is that he remains oblivious to the ouranographic nature of Greek myth: their myths were related to the heavens.
		Robert Graves was also a great student of mythology and in addition to this great survey of myths, he has written volumes on the nature of myths, in much the same genre as the great work `The Golden Bough'.

	The poetry of Robert Graves by Robert Richman
		Graves was part of the literary generation that was profoundly altered by the war.
		Judging from Martin Seymour-Smith’s biography of Graves, [1] it could easily be characterized by the title of one of Graves’s poems: “Sick Love.” For Graves, Riding was, variously, the incarnation of an ancient Mediterranean moon goddess, the embodiment of the perfection of poetry itself, and a feminist advocating the overthrow of male-dominated society.
		Robert Graves never let his tongue “lose self-possession,” but his worship of the Goddess prevented him from securing major status as a poet, largely because it led him to adopt an anti-metaphorical, anti-symbolical stance toward poetry.

		Graves was a passionate student of antiquity, both the Greeks and the Romans, and his goal in writing I, CLAUDIUS was to chronicle the period in Roman history immediately after the collapse of the republic and near the beginning of the rule of the Caesars.
		Robert Graves tells you every detail of it, and although he may have spiced it here and there a bit, the main line of the story is history.
		Graves' novel of corruption, murder and mayhem in Imperial Rome presents itself as a firsthand account by Tiberius Claudius, a stammering weakling often mistaken for an idiot.

	a review, with extended excerpts, of "The White Goddess" by Robert Graves
		Graves analyzes what stories have been written down and saved from the times when all tales were memorized and orally transmitted, and claims to reveal their "secrets".
		It is important to note that Graves was first and foremost a story-teller and only incidentally a "historian": he wrote primarily "historical novels" in which he based events and characters on the research he had done and the hypothesis he drew from that research.
		Graves also served as a pioneer in the current resurgence of "nature-worship" inquiry (but unfortuately has been a source for much misinformation).

	Lectures on Robert Graves by Richard Perceval Graves
		Robert Graves remains an extraordinary figure in the pantheon of twentieth century literature: briefly attached as a young soldier-poet to Sir Edward Marsh's Georgians, he then blazed a private trail which led him through numerous private and professional dangers to a secure second marriage and ultimate recognition as the greatest love-poet of his day.
		In this lecture we are introduced to the extraordinary story of the relationship between the poet Robert Graves, his wife Nancy Nicholson, and Laura Riding, the brilliant and seductive American poet who became Robert's muse.
		From it we learn not only how Robert Graves came to write The White Goddess (probably his most enduring work), but also about the message which he was trying to convey about what it is to be a romantic poet.

	Gore Vidal : "Robert Graves and the Twelve Caesars"
		Robert Graves, who, under the spell of his Triple Goddess, has lately been retranslating the classics.
		One of his first tributes to her was a fine rendering of The Golden Ass: then Lucan's Pharsalia; then the Greek Myths, a collation aimed at rearranging the hierarchy of Olympus to afford his Goddess (the female principle) a central position at the expense of the male.
		Graves has given us The Twelve Caesars of Suetonius in a good, dry, no-nonsense style; and, pleasantly enough, the Ancient Mother of Us All is remarkable only by her absence, perhaps a subtle criticism of an intensely masculine period in history.
