First edition, first printing. Also features an inscription from the author to Nancy Eastwood, manageress of Blackwell's Books (dated July 9th, 1948). This would make a wonderful addition to any John Masefield collection, and buyers will be hard pressed to find a better copy.
A Play of St. George by John Masefield is a poetic verse drama celebrating the legendary English saint and his triumph over evil. First published in 1918, the play combines rich medieval imagery with Masefield’s lyrical language and moral depth, exploring themes of courage, faith, and sacrifice. Written with the rhythm and resonance of traditional pageantry, it reflects Masefield’s fascination with spiritual heroism and his mastery of dramatic poetry.
