The popular success
of Alfred Noyes is not limited to any special literary type. The modern
ballad is at its best in "The Highwayman" and "Forty Singing Seamen." In
his Tales of the Mermaid Tavern the Elizabethans like "Will" Shakespeare,
"Ben" Jonson, and "Kit" Marlowe seem to come to life. The Pageant of Letters
shows him as a critic and a biographer, while most popular is his recent
novel about the last survivor of World War III, No Other Man.
