OverviewThis book aims to put Walter de la Mare back on the literary map. A writer beloved by many, he has nevertheless remained on the sidelines of literary history. Walter de la Mare: Critical Appraisals promises to restore his reputation as one of the most memorably haunting of poets, as well as a peculiarly unnerving writer of ghost stories. A collection of varied, wide-ranging essays on de la Mare’s poetry, stories, novels, reviews and lectures, it puts his work beside that of many of his famous contemporaries, including Thomas Hardy, Robert Frost, W. H. Auden, T. S. Eliot and Katherine Mansfield. It also contains an invaluable survey of his archive, much of it unpublished, and a number of newly commissioned poems reflecting on his legacy. This multifaceted volume will be of interest to students working on twentieth-century poetry, the short story, the nature and limits of modernism and British intellectual history, as well as on de la Mare himself.

The chapter by Yui Kajita on de la Mare and Hardy pays scrupulous attention to a writer whose prose and poetry would loom large in the imagination of the Georgians and the Dymock group… this extensive critical and biographical reconsideration of Walter de la Mare will help to revive radically our understanding of the aesthetic and thematic influence he exerted at this crucial time.’ Roger Ebbatson, Journal of the Friends of the Dymock Poets Author InformationYui Kajita is a scholar of nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature, a literary translator and an illustrator. Angela Leighton is Senior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. A. J. Nickerson is Katherine Jex-Blake Research Fellow and College Lecturer at Girton College, Cambridge.
