Indentured at fourteen to a merchant ship, John Masefield learned from a very young age to love the sea and his fellow men. 'A Play of St. George' demonstrates Masefield's infatuation with humanity, pairing the exciting action of a dangerous duel with the thought-provoking struggle of a desperate choice.
