Errington, Philip W. JOHN MASEFIELD, THE 'GREAT AUK' OF ENGLISH LITERATURE, A BIBLIOGRAPHY
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2004 8.5"x 11" Hardcover, dust jacket 932 pages
John Masefield (1878-1967) was a prolific and popular writer, whose longevity afforded him a publishing history spanning six decades. Poet Laureate of Great Britain from 1930 until his death, Masefield was only 23 years old when he wrote his best-remembered poem 'Sea-Fever'.
He was admired by the most influential artists of the twentieth century: for his poetry, by W. B. Yeats, Thomas Hardy and Philip Larkin; for his novels by Graham Greene; and for his plays by George Bernard Shaw.
Yet, Masefield was not only significant as a writer. His career and output are significantly linked with twentieth-century publishing concerns. For the first time in a Masefield bibliography, archives of agents and publishers have been included in order to detail the publishing history of his individual works. This added detail offers another dimension to a man who is representative of so many parts of literary life: a best-selling and popular author, a victim of publishing contracts, an early employer of a literary agency, a patron of private presses and a figure particularly active in the literary world. This comprehensive bibliography comes at a time of new interest and re-assessment. Illustrated with 50 black-and-white illustrations. Co-published with The British Library. SALES RIGHTS: North and South America; available elsewhere from The British Library.
Price: $ 125.00 other currencies Order nr. 76539
