Walter de la Mare: Come Hither (1923 / 1967)

Collected Stories


I was quite excited to come across Reading Walter de la Mare, the book pictured at the top of this post, in a local second-hand shop. De la Mare can be a bit obscure at times: you can read through the same oassage again and again without working out exactly what happened. The final paragaphs of Henry Brocken are a case in point. Did Criseyde get into that boat with him, or not?

I'd hoped that it would be a kind of reader's companion to his work, full of useful tips and guides to interpretation. Alas, it turned out to be an anthology of favourite poems by him with brief commentaries after each one: interesting, but not really quite what I was hoping for.

Don't get me wrong. I do like his poetry, but it's his short stories that interest me most - the ghost stories in particular. In fact I wrote a whole blogpost centred on one of the most intriguing of them: "The Green Room".


W. H. Auden, ed.: A Choice of de la Mare's Verse (1963)


Perhaps my favourite among all of his many stories, though, is 'The Story of this Book": the strange, allegorical introduction to his classic anthology Come Hither (1923). W. H. Auden discusses it in some detail in the introduction to his own selection from de la Mare''s poetry. The story hinges on decoding the various names of the places (and people) involved: "Thrae" is Earth, for instance, and its proprietor, Miss Taroone, is Nature.

Auden describes these anagrams as simple enough - and so, for the most part, they are. There are a few which remain controversial, however. This is the list of interpretations as I have it at present:
  • Thrae = Earth
  • Sure Vine = Universe
  • Ten Laps = Planets
  • Miss Taroone = Mother Nature
  • Nahum Tarune = Human Nature
  • East Dene = Destiny - or East [of] Eden
  • Simon = Somni [sleep]
  • Linnet Sara Cuec = Natural Science
The last of these, the housekeeper "Linnet Sara Queek, or Quek, or Cuec, or Cueque", has been the hardest to identify. In an online comment on Amazon.com, David L. Williams suggests that:
her name is Lynnet Sara Cueque, and an anagram for her name might be “Queer Uncany Tales.” “Uncanny” would need another “n,” obviously, but this is in line with the anagram for Taroone, in that it is by sound and not necessarily by exact spelling. The narrator says that Linnet Sara “could tell curious and rambling stories (as true as she could make them); and many of them were about the old days in Thrae, older days in Sure Vine, and about Miss Taroone.”
A more plausible identification has subsequently been proposed Shoni (12/6/2018):
I have an idea of what Linnet Sara Cuec represents: 'Natural Science'. With the surname spelt as 'Cuec', it is a perfect anagram.]
None of de la Mare's other anthologies begin in quite so teasing a way, but all of them include long passages of his own analytical and autobiographical prose among the selections from other writers.


Walter de la Mare: Collected Stories for Children (1947 / 1984)


For years I attempted to gather all the various collections of stories he'd written, in the hope of being able to read them all. Around the turn of the millennium, though, I discovered that the poet's grandson Giles was planning to publish the entire canon in three comprehensive volumes. I bought each of them as they came out, and they provide much of the bibliographical detail listed below.


Walter de la Mare: Short Stories (1996-2000)


It seems a fitting act of family piety, given that it was his father Richard who edited his own father Walter de la Mare's Complete Poems in 1967. Keeping it in the family, one might say. There's certainly something to be said for nepotism in this case, however: both of these projects are considerable works of scholarship in which I'd be hard put to it to find a flaw.

In any case, you'll find below a reasonably comprehensive (though not entirely exhaustive) list of all de la Mare's various collections of stories, together with lists of their contents. There's clearly a lot more to be said on the subject, but that's probably best left for future posts on my other blogsite, the one reserved for such matters of commentary and critique.
