«La historia de Marie Powell» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Plaza & Janés in hardcover, in Spanish.
In seventeenth-century England, Marie Powell, a sixteen-year-old girl, marries the poet John Milton, who hopes her dowry will settle his debts. However, the dowry proves illusory, and Milton reveals himself as a tyrannical and vain husband. Narrated from Marie's perspective, the novel recreates her life with a celebrated but difficult man, and portrays a determined woman who defies convention.
Original work by Robert Graves published in 1943 as 'Wife to Mr. Milton'; this Spanish edition, translated by Lucía Graves, appeared in 1996.
For readers of historical fiction and classic fiction, especially those interested in the figure of John Milton and seventeenth-century England.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
