Books Well Read - July 2007

The Crowning Privilege by Robert Graves

July 15th 2007 07:27
The Crowning Privilege by Robert Graves

is a collection of various of his essays and lectures about Poetry .

The first edition was the Cassell of 1955. The edition I have is the Penguin paperback version of 1959.By Robert Graves, yes I mean the writer the of the White Goddess and Greek Myths and over a 140 published works about poetry, mythology, and literature, and also the historical novels I Claudius and Claudius the God .

The wikipedia site on Robert Graves has a list of most of his works!


My particular favorites in this volume are his essay on Sor Juana under her birth name Juana de Asbaje and the Clarke Lectures and a witty parody of Pound called Doctor Syntax and Mr Pound.

Definitely a reading pleasure if you enjoy lively prose?
