More than 400 items published by and about Robert Graves (1895-1985) collected by the Classicist John Pinsent (1922-1995), and arranged according to the Higginson bibliography. Purchased in 1981.
The collection, which includes the original dust jackets, holds many illustrated editions, the rare early pamphlets Over the Brazier (1916) and Fairies and Fusiliers (1917), and signed, limited editions including the 1931 Seizin Press To whom else? and the 1923 Hogarth Press edition of The feather bed.
As a whole, the Robert Graves collection forms a representative selection of the publishing history of Graves's work in his lifetime.
