Robert Graves is one of twentieth century literature’s emblematic individualists, yet, paradoxically, he had a remarkable gift for collaboration. The fourteen essays in this collection explore a range of the artistic and intellectual alliances that lay behind a substantial proportion of the 140 works of this prolific poet and polymath. Some involved fellow poets such as Thomas Hardy, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, John Crowe Ransom, and pre-eminently (and controversially) his partner and muse Laura Riding, but they were also focused on fiction, biography, criticism, biblical studies, mythology, translation, and book design and publication. These essays by international scholars and writers illuminate important aspects of the work of Robert Graves and his contemporaries and of the complex phenomenon of creative collaboration.
