Robert Graves And The White Goddess: The White Goddess, 1940-1985 v. 3 Book
If this long, concluding volume to Richard Perceval Graves' three-volume biography of the poet, novelist, and mythologist Robert Graves lacks the savor and drama of the second volume, it is only because the relatively sedate life of an aged, lionized poet can be relatively tame reading. Robert Graves, the author's uncle, had by the beginning of World War II, at age 45, settled into life with Beryl Hodge, his second wife. After the war, they took up residence in Majorca, where he was visited by an unending succession of disciples and young women whom Graves adopted as lovers and muses. It was on Majorca that Graves produced The White Goddess, his reworking of Celtic and pre-Greek mythology, surely one of the strangest Great Books ever written, and it is the tale of the poet's growing obsession with the triple-moon goddess, dubbed Cerridwen, that takes up much of this book.Read More
