The title piece in this volume is a dramatic poem of sixty pages the action of which takes place in the time of Christ. The characters introduced include Pontius Pilate, Joseph of Ramah and Herod. The play, for it is really such, is written in rhyme and is one of Mr. Masefield's most interesting and important contributions to literature. In addition to this there are in the book many sonnets and short poems. "Reveals an interesting development in poetic thought and expression ... a new Masefield ... who has never written with more dignity, nor with more artistry. Those who go in quest of Beauty will find her here.... Here is beauty of impression, beauty of expression, beauty of thought, and beauty of phrase."--_The New York Times._ The Tragedy of Nan _New edition. Cloth, $1.25. Leather, $1.60_ "One of the most distinctive tragedies written by a dramatist of the modern school."--_N.Y. Evening Post._ The Faithful: A Tragedy in Three Acts _Cloth, $1.25. Leather, $1.60_ Mr. Masefield's contributions to dramatic literature are held in quite as high esteem by his admirers as his narrative poems. In "The Faithful," his new play, he is at his best. "A striking drama ... a notable work that will meet with the hearty appreciation of discerning readers."--_The Nation._ Philip the King, and Other Poems BY JOHN MASEFIELD Author of "The Tragedy of Pompey," "The Everlasting Mercy," "The Daffodil Fields" _Cloth, 12mo, $1.25. Leather, $1.60_ "Mr. Masefield's new poetical drama is a piece of work such as only the author of 'Nan' and 'The Tragedy of Pompey' could have written, tense in situation and impressive in its poetry.... In addition to this important play, the volume contains some new and powerful narrative poems of the sea--the men who live on it and their ships. There are also some shorter lyrics as well as an impressive poem on the present war in Europe which expresses, perhaps, better than anything yet written, the true spirit of England in the present struggle." "Mr. Masefield has never done anything better than these poems."--_Argonaut._ "The compelling strength of John Masefield's genius is revealed in the memorable poem, 'August, 1914,' published in his latest volume of poetry."--_Review of Reviews._ The Story of a Round-House, and Other Poems _New and revised edition, $1.30. Leather, $1.60_ "The story of that rounding of the Horn! Never in prose has the sea been so tremendously described."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "A remarkable poem of the sea."--_San Francisco Chronicle._ "Vivid and thrillingly realistic."--_Current Literature._ "A genuine sailor and a genuine poet are a rare combination; they have produced a rare poem of the sea, which has made Mr. Masefield's position in literature secure beyond the reach of caviling."--_Everybody's Magazine._ "Masefield has prisoned in verse the spirit of life at sea."--_N.Y. Sun._ The Everlasting Mercy and The Widow in the Bye Street
