New perspectives on Robert Graves
"This book is largely the result of two international conferences held at Oxford and in Majorca in 1995 - the centenary year of Graves's birth. Since his death in 1985, full-length studies of Graves's work have been slow to appear. This volume offsets this oversight and brings the light of modern criticism to bear on the varied works of Robert Graves."--Jacket
