An Introduction to our pages
The principal objective of this site is to disseminate information relevant to the St John's College Robert Graves Trust. The Trust site also hosts pages for
Gravesiana: the Journal of the Robert Graves
Society and the Robert Graves Society.
Robert Graves (born 1895, died 1985) was a poet, novelist, mythographer, critic
and historian. Probably best known as the author of I, Claudius,
Claudius the God and as a survivor and poet of the Great War, Robert
Graves remains, despite the centenary celebrations of his birth in 1995, much
neglected by literary and academic communities.
The aim of the St John's College Robert Graves Trust is to advance the education of the public in the work of the late Robert Graves, one of the great figures of 20th Century English Poetry and Literature. The Trustees are all members of St. John's College, where Graves studied and later was a Fellow when he was elected to the Chair of Poetry at Oxford. The Trustees have delegated the day to day running of the Trust to one of their number, Professor John Kelly.
The Robert Graves Trust which is managing these pages welcomes letters, articles and contacts which can help to further the reputation of one of England's most eclectic writers of the 20th century.
