<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The definitive edition of one of the more extraordinary and influential books of our time</b> <p/>This labyrinthine and extraordinary book, first published more than sixty years ago, was the outcome of Robert Graves's vast reading and curious research into strange territories of folklore, mythology, religion, and magic. Erudite and impassioned, it is a scholar-poet's quest for the meaning of European myths, a polemic about the relations between man and woman, and also an intensely personal document in which Graves explores the sources of his own inspiration and, as he believed, all true poetry.<br> Incorporating all of Graves's final revisions, his replies to two of the original reviewers, and an essay describing the months of illumination in which <i>The White Goddess </i>was written, this is the definitive edition of one of the most influential books of our time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Robert Graves</b> (1895-1985) was a poet, novelist, and critic. His first volume of poems, <i>Over the Brazier</i> (1916), reflected his experiences in the trenches during World War I and was followed by many works of poetry, nonfiction, and fiction. He is perhaps best known for his novel <i>I, Claudius </i>(1934), which won the Hawthornden Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. <p/><b>Grevel Lindop</b>'s books include <i>Travels on the Dance Floor: One Man's </i><i>Journey to the Heart of Salsa</i>, <i>The English Opium Eater: A Life of Thomas De </i><i>Quincey</i>, and several volumes of poems. He was born in Liverpool and now lives in Manchester, where he was formerly a professor of Romantic and <p/>Early Victorian Studies at the Victoria University of Manchester.</p>
