Sobre este item
Lollingdon, Berkshire: John Masefield, 1916. 1st. hardback. Near Fine, 1st edition, Original blue cloth, printed paper labels to spine and front board, fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. With the plain paper dust jacket. Afew pale markings to boards. An excellent copy in the the dust jacket.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Masefield wrote a number of poetic dramas on Christian themes (of which Good Friday was the first); but to his amazement, he encountered a ban on the performance of plays on biblical subjects that went back to the Reformation and had been revived a generation earlier to prevent production of Oscar Wilde's Salome. However, a compromise was reached and in 1928 his ""The Coming of Christ"" was the first play to be performed in an English cathedral since the Middle Ages. Good Friday was self-published in the UK during the First World War, in 1916 (having first appeared in The Fortnightly Review in 1915). The first edition in book-form was published in 1916 by Macmillan, New York with the title ÒGood Friday. A Dramatic PoemÓ, the author having been sent to the United States Òunder government auspices to help explain the British war effortÓ (ODNB).
