Robert Graves : from Great War poet to Good-bye to all that (1895-1929) /
Wilson, Jean Moorcroft.
Robert Graves : from Great War poet to Good-bye to all that (1895-1929) / Jean Moorcroft Wilson. - London : Bloomsbury Continuum, 2018. - xiv, 461 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The writer and poet Robert Graves suppressed virtually all of the poems he had published during and just after the First World War. Until his son, William Graves, reprinted almost all the Poems About War in 1988, Graves's status as a 'war poet' seems to have depended mainly on his prose memoir (and bestseller), 'Good-bye to All That'. None of the previous biographies written on Graves, however excellent, attempt to deal with this paradox in any depth. Robert Graves the war poet and the suppressed poems themselves have been largely neglected - until now.
