Graves was perhaps the finest love poet of our age. A man of strong opinions and stronger passions, impulsive in love and careless of family ties, Graves bestrode the century, leaving us the fruits of his remarkable genius. This biography provides the first complete and intimate portrait of this talented man. Photos.

Poets of the Twentieth Century

Yes, if you are interested in twentieth century poets, this is a good resource, well-written and resourced. However, it is long, detailed, and not always able to hold the attention. The man himself is larger than life, exceedingly strange, and very talented at losing friends and administering hurt to people who had the misfortune to love him. A study in meglomania, which can weigh on the spirits if you try to follow it all the way through. The subtitle, "Life on the Edge", is exact. SInce Graves suffered all his life from the traumas of his WWI service, he may well have lived in the inner landscape of Borderline Personality Disorder.

A good readable biography

While not as detailed, or as long, as Seymour-Smith's, this is a very readable acount of Graves' life. If you only wanted one biography, this is the more accessible. It feels thin in the second half, and tends to concentrate more on the man than his writing. The "problem" for all Graves' biographers seems to be how to deal with his "muses'. Seymour brushes over them. On the other hand, Beryl Graves emerges as a character in her own right.
