So began the lifelong interest of the future Poet Laureate, John Masefield (1878-1967), in the story of KingArthur. After becoming a popular, successful narrative poet and playwright, Masefield turned to the Arthurian material in earnest, producing the verse drama \u003ci\u003eTristan and Isolt\u003c\/i\u003e in 1927 and \u003ci\u003eMidsummer Night\u003c\/i\u003e a year laterwith its Arthurian cycle.\u003cbr\u003eAll29 of Masefield's previously published Arthurian poems from the \u003ci\u003eBallad of Sir Bors\u003c\/i\u003e (1903) to \u003ci\u003eCaer Ocvran\u003c\/i\u003e (1966) are collected here in addition to the full-length tragi-comedy \u003ci\u003eWhen Good King Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e.
