John Masefield
Collected edition of Masefield's Arthurian poetry including previously unpublished material. Introduction by the author.

So began the lifelong interest of the future Poet Laureate, John Masefield (1878-1967), in the story of KingArthur.

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.
