Summary "Reynard the Fox" by John Masefield is a narrative poem written in the early 20th century. This work immerses readers in the age-old tradition of fox hunting, presenting a vivid portrayal of English country life and society. The poem closely follows Reynard, the clever fox, as he navigates the huntsmen and their hounds, evoking themes of survival, cunning, and the intricate relationship between man and nature. The opening of the poem sets the stage at the meet of a fox hunt at a quaint inn called "The Cock and Pye." It introduces various characters from different social backgrounds, including farmers, grooms, and the local clergy, all gathering for the hunt. Amidst the bustling scene at the stables, where grooms prepare the horses and the excitement builds, the reader is immersed in the sights, sounds, and interactions that characterize this slice of English rural life. The introductory portion captures the anticipation and camaraderie of the hunting community, while also hinting at the dangers that await Reynard, as the thrill of the chase unfolds.
