Synopsis "Over The Brazier"

ROBERT GRAVES'S verses have a quality which renders them memorable. Though in many ways they conform to the new fashions of literary attack, soon to grow old and conventional, they have a touch of true originality, both in the style and in the thoughts underlying the style. Mr. Graves is one of those lucky men who are able to see and describe things with a difference. His poems have all the faults of youth, but they have also a great many of its virtues.

Robert Graves (Wimbledon, 1895 – Deià, Mallorca, 1985) was a British writer, poet, and essayist whose work ranges from war poetry to historical novels and mythological essays. He participated in World War I, an experience he depicted in his autobiography Goodbye to All That (1929). He studied at Oxford and was a professor of English literature at the University of Cairo. In 1929, he settled in Deià, Mallorca, where he lived for most of his life. His literary output includes more than 140 works, noted for their erudition and narrative style.

Among his most recognized works are I, Claudius (1934) and its sequel Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina (1943), historical novels that were successfully adapted for television. In the field of essays, notable works include The White Goddess (1948) and The Greek Myths (1955), where Graves offers a reinterpretation of classical mythology from a poetic-anthropological perspective. These works have been influential in the study of mythology and comparative literature.
