The story of The Golden Ass is that of Lucius Apuleius, a young man of good birth who encountered many strange adventures while disporting himself along the roads to Thessaly. Not the least of these occurred when Apuleius offended a priestess of the White Goddess, who turned him into an ass. The tale of how Apuleius dealt with this misfortune and eventually resumed human form is conveyed by Robert Graves in modern English that is infused with a bawdy wit and sense of adventure that is "itself a small masterpiece of twentieth-century prose" (Kenneth Rexroth, Saturday...

From the incredible wizadry of Merlin to the passion of Gwynevere and Sir Lancelot, these tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table offer epic adventures with the supernatural as well as timeless battles with our own humanity. In a time when there were damsels in distress to save and mythical dragons to slay, King Arthur and his knights were there to render justice in the face of any danger. Keith Baine's splendid rendition of Le Morte d'Arthur faithfully preserves the original flavor of Malory's masterpiece--that of banners and bloodshed, knights and...

The definitive edition of one of the more extraordinary and influential books of our time
This labyrinthine and extraordinary book, first published more than sixty years ago, was the outcome of Robert 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 explores the sources of his own inspiration and, as he believed, all...
The definitive edition of one of the more extraordinary and influential books of our time
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 was with Siegfried Sassoon when Sassoon threw his medal for bravery into the River Mersey in Liverpool to begin his protest at the tactics of the British Army in the First World War. Graves's own reputation as a war poet has waned, but at his best he matches the gruesomeness of Owen and the bitter sarcasm of Sassoon, while adding his own brand of mordant and sardonic wit. This book will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the poetic response to the First World War. Check out our other books at www.dogstailbooks.co.uk

When these poems, written between the ages of fourteen and twenty, first appeared, I was serving in France and had no leisure for getting the final proofs altogether as I wanted them. The same year, but too late, I decided on several alterations in the text, including the suppression of two small poems inexcusable even as early work. These amendations appear in this new edition, but I have left the bulk of the book as it stood. ROBERT GRAVES.
