Why has no one cited any of the articles from the book, Graves and the Goddess: Essays on Robert Graves The White Goddess, ed. by Ian Firla and Grevel Lindop? This article seems rather slanted and biased without their academic contributions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.39.20.64 (talk) 23:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The current placement of the T.S. Eliot quote makes it sound as though Eliot were one of the who rejected "The White Goddess" or somehow disliked it. In fact, if you follow the citation and read it in full, it is clear that this quote from Eliot was intended as praise of the book:
Eliot was "extremely impressed" with the new version, whose learning and labour were beyond his understanding. Eliot went so far as to describe The White Goddess, in the publisher's catalogue, as a "prodigious, monstrous, stupefying, indescribable book" (qtd in Seymour 312). His enthusiasm was no doubt genuine, yet one should nonetheless note the ambiguity of those four adjectives. 2601:601:511:2740:3C72:F6EA:E646:8974 (talk) 03:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
