📜GOODBYE TO ALL THAT📜
by Robert Graves

➡️ An autobiographical work that describes firsthand the great tectonic shifts in English society following the First World War. ---------------------------------------------------------

In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing 'never to make England my home again'.

It also contains memorable encounters with fellow writers and poets. Goodbye to All That, with its vivid, harrowing descriptions of the Western Front, is a classic war document, and also has immense value as one of the most candid self-portraits of an artist ever written.
