"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."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
