5.0 out of 5 stars
Erudition at its best
I have a bad habit of marking my books. Great quotes are underlined. Outstanding quotes are asterisked. Ohmigod pages have book darts. Amazing books have tag/sluglines and page numbers on the inner flap -- sort of my own index. My copy of The White Goddess must have over 100 book darts and as many tags. One caveat though ... one must be into ancient and arcane...

1.0 out of 5 stars
An Historical Grammar of 'What?' in General
Originally published in 1946, a detail of all the historical, linguistic, astronomical, religious, archaeological and epigraphic errors of this work would take one volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Nevertheless, this thick book sums up rather concisely: pure fantasy on a par with Mr. Tolkien, just more convoluted.

By Ken McClellan "The Last Byzantine" (Stafford, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The White Goddess, Enlarged Edition (Hardcover)
I have a bad habit of marking my books. Great quotes are underlined. Outstanding quotes are asterisked. Ohmigod pages have book darts. Amazing books have tag/sluglines and page numbers on the inner flap -- sort of my own index. My copy of The White Goddess must have over 100 book darts and as many tags. One caveat though ... one must be into ancient and arcane knowledge ... such things as the secret Name of God or the first Divine Child myth in Europe ... or it will all strike you as esoteric nonsense. Some of us are just born in the wrong era. Robert Graves was such a one.
