Collected edition of Masefield's Arthurian poetry including
previously unpublished material. Introduction by the author. At the
end of the nineteenth century, a homeless runaway teenager in New
York found a job in a bar and discovered Malory. So began the
lifelong interest of the future Poet Laureate, John Masefield
(1878-1967), in the story of KingArthur. After becoming a popular,
successful narrative poet and playwright, Masefield turned to the
Arthurian material in earnest, producing the verse drama Tristan
and Isolt in 1927 and Midsummer Night a year laterwith its
Arthurian cycle. All29 of Masefield's previously published
Arthurian poems from the Ballad of Sir Bors (1903) to Caer Ocvran
(1966) are collected here in addition to the full-length
tragi-comedy When Good King Arthur. Also included are nine poems
never before published which, together with prose notes, reveal
Masefield undertaking an ambitious retelling of the Arthurian myth.
