The English Poet Laureate from 1930 until 1967, John Masefield produced a wide range of literary masterpieces, encompassing ballads, nature poetry, adventure novels, social dramas and mythological children's works. His long narrative poems, including the much-celebrated 'The Everlasting Mercy' (1911), shocked literary orthodoxy of the time with its colloquial expressions and deemed coarseness of themes. He is revered for his endeavour to make poetry a popular art and for his influence on the Georgian movement, advocating respect for formalism, as well as bucolic and romantic subject matter. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature's finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Masefield's collected works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
