Christmas 1942, and, on front cover verso mounted business card with four lines of good wishes. Over all a good and quite interesting copy. - - 'First published 1942' (title page verso) - Personal dedication on half title 'For Alice from Jan, Christmas 1942'; handwritten text in black ink on bluish business card with printed address 'Burcote Brook, Abingdon' : 'My dear Alice, Please let me wish you all happineß at this time + in the coming year. Always gratefully yours, Jan' - The uncommon short name used here seems to be rather intimate and points on a friendly relationship. Indeed, 'Jan' was his nickname: "Jan (as he was known to his wife)" (see: The War Artists: An Overview of Imperial War Museum, in: battlelines-redrawn.co uk) - Burcote Brook, Abingdon, was Masefield's home address (cf. archives.nypl org) - This booklet must have been sent to someone outside the poet's own family : "When Masefield was 23, he met his future wife, Constance de la Cherois Crommelin, who was 35 and of Huguenot decent. Educated in classics and English Literature, and a mathematics teacher, Constance was a good match for Masefield despite the difference in age. The couple had two children (Judith, born in 1904, and Lewis, in 1910)" (poemhunter com). - Abgesehen von ev. Verwandten, sind die quasi 'namhaftesten Alices', mit welchen Masefield eine Zusammenarbeit pflegte, Alice Meynell (1847-1922) und Alice E. Gillington (1863-1934); beide waren jedoch schon vor 1942 verstorben. Wahrscheinlich u. plausibel wäre die schottische Dichterin Alice V. Stuart (1899-1983), wie Korrespondenz-Archivalien von John Masefield nahelegen (e.g. 15 letters from Masefield to Alice V. Stuart, in the years 1945-1961, held by: National Library of Scotland, Manuscript Collections; cf. discovery.nationalarchives.gov uk). -- Masefield's poem 'Land Workers' is described by Stephen Spender as "perhaps the crown of his achievement" (zit. in: G. Plain, Literature of the 1940s: War, Postwar and 'Peace', vol. 5, Edinburgh 2013, p. 32). -- "Kingswod was the home of Heinemann's Windmill Press. Opened in January 1928 it was located in rural surrey just outside Greater London and had a printing press, bindery, warehouse, offices and a staff of 150. Heinemann had evacuated to Kingswood after war was declared, leaving just a skeleton staff at its London office." (J. Kloester, Georgette Heyer. London 2011, p. 198). -- John Masefield (Ledbury, Herefordshire 1878?1967 near Abingdon, Berkshire), British poet, "best known for his poems of the sea [.], and for his long narrative poems, such as The Everlasting Mercy (1911), which shocked literary orthodoxy with its phrases of a colloquial coarseness hitherto unknown in 20th-century English verse. [.] After he succeeded Robert Bridges as poet laureate in 1930, his poetry became more austere." (etc.; Britannica) - Resp.: Englischer Dichter, Romancier und Dramatiker, "ging mit dreizehn Jahren zur See [.] und kehrte 1897 nach London zurück [.]. Auf Grund seiner Erfolge wurde er 1930 zum Staatsdichter ('Poet Laureate') ernannt. [.] Masefield zählt zu den fruchtbarsten und vielseitigsten Autoren seiner Zeit und lässt sich schwer einordnen." (Rüdiger/Koppen 2, 4. Aufl. 1973). - Sprache: en.…
