Description
A comprehensive collection of poetry and prose by John Clare, one of England's most celebrated Romantic poets. This authoritative edition brings together a generous selection of Clare's work, including autobiographical writings and letters, offering a fascinating insight into rural society and the poet's own sense of isolation. Clare's poetry spans all stages of his career, exploring themes of love, nature, and the human experience. Written in his native Northamptonshire, his work provides a unique reflection of rural life, often underscored by his own feelings of despair. With minimal editorial interference, this edition presents Clare's writings in their purest form. A new introduction by poet and scholar Tom Paulin sets the stage for this remarkable collection, providing context and depth to Clare's remarkable talent.
