 Robert H. Canary- Utopian and Fantastic Dualities in Robert Graves's Watch the North Wind Rise
Some critics have argued that Graves' prose works deserve as much serious consideration as his poetry, but little has been done; especially surprising is the general neglect of Watch the North Wind Rise (1949), a utopian novel about a future society which has returned to the worship of the Goddess.
Implicitly, Graves criticizes those utopias in which the caste structure is hereditary; individuals are assigned to castes on the basis of their childhood behavior, and captains (the warrior caste) are not allowed to marry.
Graves himself has written of the opposition between reason and emotion in his own inheritance, between the Classical and Romantic traditions of poetry.
