Robert Graves, the Victorian Education System, and the British Identity

Abstract

Questo saggio esplora il profondo legame di Robert Graves con la letteratura classica, plasmato dalla sua educazione e formazione vittoriana. Si intende analizzare come i suoi romanzi, saggi critici e poesie riflettano una continua rilettura dei Classici, radicata nei valori di disciplina e rigore intellettuale appresi negli anni formativi. Contestualizzando Graves all’interno del più ampio panorama culturale ed educativo vittoriano, e confrontando il suo approccio con quello dei suoi contemporanei, questo studio mostra come questo background abbia creato la sua voce letteraria unica. In ultima analisi, viene messa in luce l’attualità dei testi classici nell’opera di Graves e la loro rilevanza culturale nella Gran Bretagna del primo Novecento.
