MAY 2ft, 1980 POETRY and LIFE The announcement that Joh; Mascfieid has been appointed pod laureate oi England, succeeding th< late Robert Bridges, leviyiss in teres in poetry as a means <>i expression as well as in t.he anoiei'.l office v> poet laureate to the King l*o Kitg The earlie poets laureate were ; kind of glorified royal minstrels wh< were supposed to sound the praise of the King >r every possible oeca sion. Naturally, the necessity for be in?- a sovt of lyrical "y-:s-nia.'i" (lb not attract j.he pcets of the highes genius. bik\ there have been few holders of that title whose name: aie now remembered. But whet Queer. Victoria appointed Alfred Tennyson as lauraete a new styb was set. Tennyson refused to writi poetry to order. He did compes' some versus in commemoration o: events in the life cf royalty, bu they rank among his poorest works But Tennyson was the greatest poe of h's day, one of the greatest wh? ever '.vrotn in the English language and he gave to the title of poet laiir eate a new dignityTennyson's successor, Robert Br id ges. was regarded iii literary circle, as a first-rate poet, but his work ha: never had the popular appeal tha Tennyson's had. Few 01 his poems unknown at all in America. For tha matter, few of. John Masefield's pe ems arc known on this side l th] water. The only living English "p?>e whose work has hail American ponu larity comparable with Tennyson's i Rudyard Kipling, and K:;?ln;g s r.ov an old man and peobal Id no have accepted the c laUreat even if it had bden offered to him And that w8s out 01 . ouesti^h since the King's appointmer.t w ;u made on the recommendat^n of thHrime Minister, and the Prime Minister, Ranvsay Maecfonabi is at odds with his predecessor, cHar ley Baldwin, who happens to be Kiv ling's brother-in-law. John Masefield is a different Sgjf of poet. English to the cove, he ha expressed in his poems a deep sympathy with and understanding of th working classes and the ,*uhchr dogs generally. !{:. youth w*a> spc nt i poverty, one almost says as a iramy He sowed before the mast as a sailoi found nirnseli stranded in Nov Vor and earned his bed and hn by > injr as a porter tor a friendly saloon keeper. _Vel his pocm,_;'Reymud th ~~: box," orou^nt mm the;\in^aht.Ja?: prova) of the English aristocracy!
