Remarks that de la Mare, one of the leading literary figures of his day, has now attained the status of literary curiosity. This review of de la Mare's long novel Memoirs of a Midget brings to light once again de la Mare's unique talent for transforming the everyday into something fantastic and often terrifying.

Ormsby, Eric. "Robert Bridges's New Cadence." New Criterion 25.8 (April 2007): 15.
Notes that de la Mare regarded Bridges as "not a great poet, but a 'real' one, and 'sure to live.' Ormsby says that this is not the case. Valuable for de la Mare's attitude to the poetry of his day.

Towsey, David. "Blind Lust: Walter de la Mare and Short Story Ideology." Oxford Literary Review 26 (2004): 101-15.
De la Mare's ideology to interpret the idea behind the written words in short stories made him search for new reading material. He believed in giving his readers a true access of vision to subject of his story. His ideology of supporting hermeneutical location through the principle of ocular completion takes shape in his story "The Green House." He tried to explain that interpretation of the work takes place under the condition that it will bring clarity to the reader.
