The story of Marie Powell, wife to Mr Milton ; and, the Isles of Unwisdom

In "The story of Marie Powell, Wife to Mr. Milton" (1943) Robert Graves - half a century before Carol Ann Duffy - creates a Mrs for a famous Mr, a Mr who Graves regards as one of the heinous monsters in the English poetic pantheon. Certainly his Mrs Milton is ill-used by a distended genius.
