Description
The Quickening Maze by Adam Foulds is a historically accurate and intensely lyrical novel that explores the life of John Clare, a nature poet who struggled with alcoholism and depression. In 1840, Clare is incarcerated in an asylum in London's Epping Forest, where he finds himself entangled in the lives of those around him. The novel delves into the closed world of the asylum and the natural paradise that exists outside its walls - Clare's dream of home, redemption, and escape. Foulds' writing brings to life this period of history, weaving together the stories of Clare and Alfred Tennyson, who becomes entangled in the asylum's life. A poignant and thought-provoking novel, The Quickening Maze is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
