Robert Graves' "Goodbye To All That": Chapter 18

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Robert Graves' extreme humanitarianism and devotion to the written word is significantly apparent within the literary boundaries of Goodbye To All That, a classic autobiography that records both the end of his own innocence and the decline of the chivalrous code of his class in post-war England. Not only does the reader assume the fact that the author is wholly attentive to his craft, but he also is privy to the notion that Graves only writes about things that are close to his heart. Expounding upon his experiences during World War I, Graves interweaves elements of a personal and political nature as a means by which to illustrate the atrocities of war. Chapter 18, which establishes the major points between World War 1 and the relationship to European Society, allows the reader to gain a significantly better understanding of what Graves' account sets out to convey. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
