De la Mare's dramatic monogical poems both reflect and illuminate the complex balance of continuity and change which make up the historical and cultural trends of the western world in the early decades of the twentieth century. As the dramatic monologue is one of the possible ways by which man can still find expression for the scattered fragments of himself and the world around him, for the growing silence that surrounds all incomprehensible utterances.
