About this eBook

Author Masefield, John, 1878-1967
Title Multitude and Solitude
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Multitude and Solitude" by John Masefield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Roger Naldrett, a playwright, who grapples with the harsh realities of artistic failure as he witnesses the disastrous reception of his work. The narrative delves into themes of artistry, societal expectations, and personal disillusionment. The opening of the novel introduces Roger as he watches the second act of his tragedy unfold in a theater. Despite the cold reception of the first act, he experiences a mix of emotional detachment and empathy for the actors struggling on stage. Roger observes the audience's disdain and his own conflicted feelings toward his art. Throughout this segment, we also learn about his friend John O'Neill and the strain their friendship faces amid Roger's failures. The scene effectively sets a tone of introspection and a critique of contemporary artistic struggles, exploring the tension between individual creativity and collective reception.
