Walter De la Mare

    25. apríl 1873 – 22. jún 1956

    Walter de la Mare bol anglický básnik a prozaik, ktorého dielo sa často zaoberá podivuhodným svetom detskej fantázie, ale aj psychologickým hororom. Jeho prístup k písaniu bol hlboko ovplyvnený záujmom o predstavivosť, čo dodalo jeho textom jedinečnú, ľahko nadpozemskú kvalitu. De la Mare majstrovsky prepletal realitu s fantáziou a vytváral znepokojivé, ale zároveň fascinujúce príbehy, ktoré rezonujú s čitateľmi naprieč generáciami.

      Though sometimes classified with Owen, Rosenberg and Sassoon as a 'war poet', he was rather a poet who died tragically in the war, and whose main subjects were the English countryside and its people, and the solitude of the observing self. The present edition offers the complete poems together with detailed editorial apparatus in what has become acknowledged as the standard edition by R. George Thomas. It also includes Thomas's remarkable prose War Diary of 1917
