Book Hero thinking about your next read

This book was the outcome of Graves's vast reading and curious research into strange territories of folklore, mythology, religion and magic. Erudite and impassioned, it is a scholar-poet's quest for the meaning of European myths, and also a personal document in which Graves explored the sources of his own inspiration.

The White Goddess by Robert Graves - a fusion of scholarship on folklore, mythology, religion and poetry - is a work of unprecedented originality and brilliance.

This labyrinthine and extraordinary book, first published fifty years ago, was the outcome of Graves's vast reading and curious research into strange territories of folklore, mythology, religion and magic. Erudite and impassioned, it is a scholar-poet's quest for the meaning of European myths, a polemic about the relations between man and woman, and also an intensely personal document in which Graves explored the sources of his own inspiration and, as he believed, all true poetry.
