Abstract:

My purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the ongoing scholarly discussion of Robert Graves and how the effects of neurasthenia can be found within his war poetry. Following Dr. Carl Leggo’s methods and suggestions, I will use the process of deconstruction by utilizing my research sources combined with my own experiences to provide a new, veteran’s perspective. Considering the long career that Robert Graves was able to enjoy before his death, one may even be able to argue that it was the conditions and experiences from his time in the military which set Graves apart and allowed him to maintain relevance until his passing. Keywords: Robert Graves; Neurasthenia; War Poetry; WWI; Deconstruction; Analysis of poetry;
