A play such as only the author of “Nan” could have written. Tense in situation and impressive in its poetry it conveys Masefield’s genius in the handling of the dramatic form.

“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 imaginations 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.
