Description
The White Goddess: A Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth by Robert Graves and Grevel Lindop First published over fifty years ago, this book is the result of Robert Graves's extensive research into the realms of folklore, mythology, religion, and magic. A scholar-poet's quest for the meaning of European myths, it is also a deeply personal exploration of the sources of his own inspiration and the nature of true poetry. The book's text has been revised and updated, incorporating Graves's final revisions and responses to original reviewers. A new introduction by Grevel Lindop provides valuable context and insight into the book's creation. This new edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Graves's groundbreaking work, which continues to fascinate readers with its erudite and impassioned exploration of the human experience.
