William Golding’s first and only book of poetry, titled simply Poems, was published in 1934. Envoy Extraordinary, a 1956 novella, was recast in 1958 in the form of a play, The Brass Butterfly; this work, set in Roman times, uses irony to examine the value of “modern” inventions. Envoy Extraordinary was published along with two other novellas, The Scorpion God and Clonk Clonk, in a 1971 collection bearing the title The Scorpion God.
