Walter de la Mare's anthologies are in a category of their own,
indeed, they are of such excellence as to make the description
belittling. Walter de la Mare compiled five of them, with
commentaries, using poems and passages of prose. All are being
reissued in Faber Finds, and to each he brought such a range of
reading, wisdom and intelligence as to make them cornucopias of
delight and entertainment. Behold, This Dreamer was first published
in 1939 and Faber Finds is proud to reissue it seventy years on.
Walter de la Mare provides a long introduction which leads to, in
his own words, '. . . a Survey - a panorama - of a wide theme,
endlessly inviting, in much obscure, viewed from many different
angles, by many diverse minds.' To quote from the original blurb,
'Mr de la Mare is concerned not merely with dreaming, whether by
night or day, with fantasies, hallucinations, explanations and
interpretations of dreams, and the whole business (so to speak) of
getting into (as well as out of) the dreamstate. His net is thrown
over death as well as sleep, Nature as well as Man: and he takes
his soundings in those unconscious and unreasoning depths out of
which human personality and art so mysteriously spring.'
