Notes

• Not necessarily helpful where copyright is concerned, but for what it's worth,—Sherman's "In behalf..." portion of the text can be found in part within American Criticism, Nineteen Twenty-Six (p. 231), which references Sherman's article as being "from The New York Herald Tribune "Books," January 10, 1926." It seems almost as though this text is a sort of prelude—or introductory piece—to perhaps Sherman's four-volume compilation of Masefield's work? much like the intro to the older editions of Britannica's Great Books of the Western World set (I can't vouch for the newer editions). I dunno. Londonjackbooks (talk) 16:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
  • I still think these are an issue, even though the discussion has now closed; there was in fact, no real discussion after I pointed out the issues, Angr's comments completely missed the point that the work is clearly post 1923 (≥1926 and most likely 1929). These were not the first publications but some editors seem to think that failure to post a copyright notice completely washes the works clean of copyright which is just silly. The works were mostly printed in major publications upon which we know that there were valid copyrights and upon which the rules of renewal are substantially modified because they fall under the rule for periodicals. The burden is on the proponents to show PD, not the opponents to show copyright and they have not met that burden, nor even really tried.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 04:17, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
