"First published in September MCMXXXIX."

Includes "Chinghis Khan" (p. [55]-95). "The story is here told through a variety of speakers ... It is not so much a narrative as a series of impressions of the main features in the life of Chinghis ... Neither a poem nor a play, but an experiment intended for recital as in broadcasting, and the speakers are intended to be contrasting voices rather than contrasting characters."
