Robert Ranke Graves whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology. Robert Graves produced more than 140 works in his lifetime. His poems, his translations, and innovative analysis of the Greek myths, his memoir of his early life?including his role in the First World War, Good-Bye to All That (1929), and his speculative study of poetic inspiration in The White Goddess, have never been out of print. He was also a renowned short story writer, with work such as "The Tenement" still read.
