«La historia de Mary Powell» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Edhasa in paperback (672 pages, in Spanish).
In 1642, at sixteen, Mary Powell marries the poet John Milton, more interested in sorting out his finances than in love. Mary does not accept the place society reserves for her and, in the first person, recounts her marriage to a cultured and celebrated man while England is torn apart by civil war.
Originally published in 1943 as «Wife to Mr. Milton»; the Spanish translation is by Lucía Graves and belongs to Edhasa's Pocket collection.
For readers of historical fiction interested in seventeenth-century England and the figure of John Milton.
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.
