As history, _The White Goddess_ is wrong (or goes way way beyond the
evidence) too many ways to count.
As one very smart poet's answer to "What history would make poetry magical,
bolster it against modernity, put it at the center of repressed powers, keep
poets 'the unacknowledged legislators of the world'..?" it's brilliant.
