Masefield, John

Born June 1, 1878, in Ledbury, Herefordshire; died May 12, 1967, in Abingdon, Berkshire. English writer.

In his early years, Masefield worked as a sailor and lived in the USA. In 1897 he returned to England and became a journalist. In his early collections of verse Salt Water Ballads (1902) and Ballads (1903), Masefield depicted the hard life of the sailor. He wrote several plays about the everyday life of the lower classes, including The Campden Wonder (1907; Russian translation, 1923), Mrs. Harrison (1907), and The Tragedy of Nan (1908). In his novels Dead Ned (1938) and Live and Kicking Ned (1939), Masefield exposed the cruelty of English criminal law. He also published literary criticism (essays on Shakespeare, 1911; on Chaucer, 1931).
