John Clare: A Biography
Jonathan Bate brings to life the complex and fascinating story of John Clare, one of Britain's most celebrated Romantic poets. From his humble beginnings as an agricultural labourer to his rise to literary fame in 19th-century London, Clare's life was marked by both triumph and tragedy.
This biography draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Clare's letters, journals, autobiographical writings, and poems, to reveal the poet's inner world and the world around him. With vivid insight and nuance, Bate explores Clare's struggles with mental illness, his relationships with other writers, and the enduring power of his poetry.
