Controversial American poet and literary critic Laura Riding (1901-1991) was Graves’s companion and literary collaborator for 13 years.
One significant output of their collaboration was Epilogue (1935-1938), a critical magazine, where Riding was editor and Graves was associate editor.
Originally called ‘The Critical Vulgate’, the first sentence of ‘Preliminaries’ in this first volume sets the tone: ‘Critical examination, whatever the subject, must begin where there is most confusion; and with the simplest possible object – precision.’
Editions of this multi-volume Seizin Press publication are now scarce.
