Description
Goodbye to All That is a powerful and poignant account of Robert Graves's life, from his unhappy childhood to his experiences in the First World War and his subsequent decision to leave England permanently. This vivid and harrowing memoir is also a candid self-portrait of an artist, offering a unique glimpse into the life of a poet, novelist, and critic.
Graves's story is marked by memorable encounters with fellow writers and poets, including Siegfried Sassoon and Thomas Hardy, and his increasingly unhappy marriage to Nancy Nicholson. This autobiography, first published in 1929, has established itself as a modern classic, and its value lies not only in its historical significance but also in its insight into the life of a complex and fascinating individual.
Published in Penguin Modern Classics, Goodbye to All That is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the life and work of Robert Graves, and for those who enjoy memoirs and biographies of literary figures.
