Robert Graves accused of stealing work from his former mistress.

From the Independent:

Dr Mark Jacobs, a research fellow at Nottingham Trent University who has spent two decades studying 700 letters he received from Laura Riding Jackson as well as her literary works, said when she discovered the uncanny similarity in his texts she condemned her former lover as a "robber baron".

Gosh.

Speaking of Big Read-ish things (sort of), I've been toying with the idea of doing another one sometime this summer -- and maybe using Twitter...  If those of us reading Twittered about it (instead of or in addition to posting), it might make the conversation more fluid.  Thoughts?

I don't know about Twitter, but I'm all for another Big Read. I missed the first two, but I read I, Claudius on my own and loved it.

I suspect I get too caught up in reading to be a good twitterer but am willing to try it and find out :)

I'd love to do another Big Read. Blogging and twittering works for me :)

I'm a big fan of Robert Graves - mostly because of his take on the female in deity. Oooh, wouldn't it be juicy if his ideas were actually taken from a woman?

I would do another big read, but not with twitter. I like to mull. I don't like to twitter, though I can concede this could be a good use of twitter.

I would love another Big Read! I missed the first two and, at a very slow summer job, I would love a reading project.

Hey, I just got THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING. Have you ever read that? Would you consider it? Also still looking for the L.M. Montgomery one. If you want to do that one, I'll just buy it from an American bookstore. Unbelievable how I took just picking up books from everywhere for granted before coming to the UK!
