"John Masefield is the man of the hour, and the man of to-morrow too, in
poetry and in the playwriting craft."--JOHN GALSWORTHY.
"--recreates a wholly new drama of existence."--WILLIAM STANLEY
BRAITHWAITE, _N. Y. Times_.
"Mr. Masefield comes like a flash of light across contemporary English
poetry, and he trails glory where his imagination reveals the substances
of life. The improbable has been accomplished by Mr. Masefield; he has
made poetry out of the very material that has refused to yield it for
almost a score of years. It has only yielded it with a passion of
Keats, and shaped it with the imagination of Coleridge."--_Boston
Evening Transcript_.
"Originality, force, distinction, and deep knowledge of the human
heart."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
"They are truly great pieces."--Kentucky Post.
"A vigor and sincerity rare in modern English literature."--_The
Independent_.
"If Mr. Masefield has occasionally appeared to touch a reminiscent chord
with George Meredith, it is merely an example of his good taste and the
sameness of big themes."--GEORGE MIDDLETON in _La Foliette's Magazine_.
