Author : Robert Graves

Robert von Ranke Graves (1895-1985) was a prominent English poet, novelist, and critic, born in Wimbledon. He received his early education at esteemed institutions such as King's College School and St John's College, Oxford, where he earned a scholarship. Graves's experiences during World War I, including his severe injuries at the Battle of the Somme, profoundly influenced his literary career, shaping him into one of the first war poets to depict the brutal realities of conflict. His friendship with fellow poet Siegfried Sassoon and his recognition of Wilfred Owen's talent marked pivotal moments in his life. Graves's notable works include *Goodbye to All That* (1929), a candid memoir about his wartime experiences, and the historical novels *I, Claudius* (1934) and *Count Belisarius* (1938). Throughout his prolific career, he published over 140 works, leaving an indelible mark on 20th-century literature. Despite facing increasing memory loss in his later years, Graves remained a significant literary figure until his passing in 1985.
