Robert Graves
Robert von Ranke Graves (24 July 1895 – 7 December 1985) was a British poet, historical novelist, critic and classicist. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, the celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic Revival; they were also Celticists and students of Irish mythology. Grobs produced more than 140 works. Graves' Poems - together with his translations and innovative analyzes and interpretations of Greek myths; his memoir of early life, including his role in World War I, Goodbye to All That; and his speculative study of poetic inspiration, The White Goddess—were never printed. He earned his living by writing, especially popular historical novels such as I, Claudius; King Jesus; Golden Fleece; and Count Belisarius. He was also a distinguished translator of classical Latin and ancient Greek texts; his versions of Twelve Caesars and The Golden Ass remain popular for their clarity and entertaining style. Graves was awarded the 1934 James Tait Black Memorial Award for Me, Claudio and Claudio God.
