Biography
English poet, novelist, critic, and classical scholar who carried on many formal traditions of English verse in a period of experimentation. His more than 120 books also include a notable historical novel, I, Claudius (1934); an autobiographical classic of World War I, Good-Bye to All That (1929; rev. ed., 1957); and erudite, controversial studies of mythology. - Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literaturemore
