  This biography of the poet Robert Graves has been written with the co-operation of his family and with access to private papers and photographs. From his distinguished exploits in World War I, described in his memoir, Goodbye to All That , to his relationships with women - most notably the American poet and essayist, Laura Riding - Graves's life was one of extremes. Miranda Seymour's interviews and correspondence with many people who have not previously discussed Graves in public help to contribute to a complex portrait of a troubled man and a creative artist. Seymour is the author of Ottoline Morrell: Life on the Grand Scale .
